SND_ESS(4)

💖 SND_ESS 💖

okay bestie, so this is snd_ess — the Ensoniq ESS ISA PnP/non-PnP bridge device driver. it's a 4th-section kernel interfaces manual page, and yes she's serving vintage realness 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

so if you wanna compile this driver into the kernel, you literally just drop these lines into your kernel configuration file:

device sound
device snd_ess
device snd_sbc

or, if you'd rather load the driver as a module at boot time instead (so valid, so convenient), you put this one line into loader.conf(5):

snd_ess_load="YES"

no cap, that's the whole vibe 🌸
