I won't bite you, but please read it again, perhaps it is now clearer how things work together). The automatic kernel loading by kerneld will remove all settings from the sound module, so you should really add the line, so the sound module will never be unloaded (except you explicitely do so). > > I was in err to not use sfxload, because i thought that there is already > > some > > default-soundfont loaded. > > This sounds like a good idea to me, except that perhaps it would increase > the size of the driver.

As this ships with the sound card, it is no problem. However, it can't be included in the module due to obvious copyright problems.
