You may need to adjust your mixer settings. Run 'mixer' and have a look at the output. You can modify any of the settings there by running, for example: mixer pcm 90 mixer vol 90 (for me to get any sound at all, I need to have both of these turned up). You can then store those settings somehow but I can't remember how to do that off the top of my head. -- Adam Smith Internode : http://www.internode.on.net Phone : (08) 8228 2999 _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
