Anyway, thanks - I'll have a go. > Looks like I'll have to, if I want sound, in any case. :-) Or you could try: # kldload snd to load all the sound modules, then: # cat /dev/sndstat to see what, if any, devices were found and attached. Once you know which specific snd_foo.ko module your card is using, add a line: snd_foo_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf, to have the right modules loaded automatically at boot time. Obviously replace 'foo' with the appropriate driver name for your hardware; for example I'm using 'emu10k1' for my SBLive! card. No need to recompile your kernel at all, although as everyone else has said, it's not at all difficult and something you should do at least once, if only to avoid loading all those drivers for hardware you don't have...
