Not sure if there's an easier way, but if you've got the audio driver kldloaded then just unload and reload it. If it's compiled in your kernel then I don't know. kldunload snd_via8233 kldload snd_via8233 Mark _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
