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 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
