I'll write a guide for you that should work. kldload snd_driver && mixer vol 100:100 && mixer pcm 100:100 && cat /dev/urandom >> /dev/dsp That should work with all supported soundcards and should produce a sound of some sort. -- If I write a signature, my emails will appear more personalised. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

A CLI example would be very handy. Thanks! Jim The FreeBSD handbook has a chapter on sound configuration and testing. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html Look at section 7.2.2. You can cat a file into /dev/dsp to test that it is working. If you want to play an actual mp3 file or something, check out mplayer or amp, both are in ports and are CLI apps. -Mark ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

sound on FreeBSD
does anyone have a link where a web page has been created which explains clearly how to install sound drivers _and_ test them I.E. play a sound? I found on BSDForums.org an explanation which describes first using kldload to try to determine what driver you need, and then it speaks a bit about compiling directly into the kernel, but neither example show how to actually play a sound --any sound-- as a test to see if it works. A CLI example would be very handy. Thanks!
