Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has had success with the 'Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit External' USB Audio card, I have managed to get it initialising but i can't get it to produce sound. I have produced a custom kernel with Ariff Abdullah's patch for RELEASE 6.0 to the /usr/src and used: device sound # Loads generic sound for headers device snd_uaudio # Loads USB audio in the kernel config.

The model number is SB0490. I also run KDE 3.4 if that could be also causing a problem.

Here is some debug stuff as I have been reading a lot in this forum and is always asked for; uname -a: FreeBSD lees.resnet.gre.ac.uk 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Jan 29 03:50:23 GMT 2006 ro...@lees.resnet.gre.ac.uk:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SBLE i386

Any thing else needed for helping you diagnose my problem I am happy to do but I'm new Unix and I'm just looking for help.
