I was wondering how to install the audio drivers for pc-bsd. I know the sound card should be compatible, as it worked perfectly with libaudio for ubuntu. I am unaware of most of the processes to install the audio driver for freeBSD, including where to get it. Any help would be appreciated.
You edit the laoder.conf file with vi.
Su to root
cd to /boot/defaults
vi loader.conf
edit what you need by removing no and adding yes.
I suggest that you copy loader.conf to loader.conf.original, in the event you screw up royally.
What do I need to edit? I found the audio but which intel should I use, the ICH7 or high def? My mobo sound card is built into a DGIZ something board if that helps. for now I will try ICH7, that sounds right...
Go to the PCBSD forums and ask the same questions.
The list will have the drivers. Load all drivers, the audio soundsystem.
That should cover it.
For the board, look at the specifications, and the driver/chip will be there.
Well, Since there are only 2 intel based cards mentioned, and I have already tried one (no sound, but no crash ), I think i have all the info I need. I will post on the other board if I have any problems. Thanks for the help!
