Put these lines: sound_load="YES" snd_driver_load="YES" Into the file /boot/loader.conf and then reboot. after you reboot look at dmesg and see if it found/loaded any sound drivers you can do this by typing in dmesg at the console and using your scroll lock key to move up/down OR type in "dmesg | grep pcm" you should see a lines like this: pcm0: on sbc0, sbc0 is the driver it is using, now type in this "dmesg | grep name_of_driver" to make sure all of the sound stuff loaded. now put a music cd into your cd player and type in (as root) "cdcontrol play" if you hear something that sounds like music your good to go, add the name of the driver etc. to your kernel config file and recompile when convenient, just remember to comment out those lines in loader.conf. and, nevermind, im late for school
