Description Joshua 2001-07-27 22:50:00 UTC

I am trying to get the sound working on this machine. I added one line to the kernel
device     snd
thats it. and during the make it doesnt complete. the error is as follows...

sound_switch.o: In function 'sound_read_sw':
sound_switch.o(.text+0x525): undefined reference to 'MIDIbuf_read'

what could the problem be?

How-To-Repeat: just config the kernel with snd in it. and do a make depend followed by a make and it will do it

The voxware drivers require additonal chipset drivers built into the kernel in
order to work.  So in addtion to "device snd" you would need an approperate
chipset driver for your sound card, e.g. "device sb", "device sbxvi", and
"device sbmidi" if your sound card was a SoundBlaster 16.

However the voxware audio drivers have been unmaintained for a while and have
most likely suffered bit-rot.  You sould use the pcm(4) device for most sound
cards today.

Please follow the instructions at:

In the future, its a good idea to submit problems to questions@freebsd.org
before using the GNATS database.
