I thought I learned this from kernel config files, i.e., LINT or NOTES. I even went to onlamp.com and looked at some old articles by Dru. Anyway, on 4.11, this works fine. But on my 5.3 system, /dev/pcaudio isn't being created on demand. Is there a device.hint I could use to cause it to be created? Anybody know where pcaudio is documented? Maybe try /dev/speaker? -- Juha Thanks for your response, Juha. Yep, I tried that. Didn't work. I have a status_check bourne script that I've been working on that helps me manage my four FreeBSD systems, by reporting revisions of various software, checking to see that sound still works, etc. Currently, I have two sound commands; one uses /dev/speaker and the other uses /dev/pcaudio. Both commands work fine under 4.11, but the second doesn't work under 5.3RC3. (any 5.x really) Here they are for anyone interested. echo "<cd<a#~<a#>f" > /dev/speaker # this plays a sound bite from Close Encounters of the Third Kind cat /usr/local/share/sounds/k3b_success1.wav > /dev/pcaudio # this plays the bugle wake up call _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
