What version of FreeBSD are you trying to install? If it is 4.x or higher... just add the lines device sbc device pcm to your kernel configuration file, then build and install a kernel, and reboot (this assumes a PnP or PCI card) if it's not a PnP or PCI card... change the sbc line above to: device sbc0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15 (fill in your card's irq, and drq's (the second drq is in the flags) after you reboot with a new kernel, type: dmesg | more and look for sbc0 and pcm0 lines. If they are there... do this as root: cd /dev sh MAKEDEV snd0 After that, your sound apps should work.
