Alzogbi > www.MazenAlzogbi.com Sound is not supported in the default kernel. You'll need to add a device and recompile the kernel. See /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT for examples. Also make sure FreeBSD supports the sound codec. Lastly, make sure the applications you're using are proplerly configured to use the correct devices, etc. For example, IIRC, kscd uses /dev/rcd0c by default which most people will need to change to /dev/acd0c or /dev/cd0c. Best of luck, Andrew Gould
