Hey there...

Strange. My sound is working like a charm.
Clean as a whistle. I had to download the
ich.c device driver and register it with
kernel sources before recompiling, but
I now have sound.

What I suggest you do is install the kernel
source code (with sysinstall or CVS) and
hack around a bit with the sound device
drivers. Just toy around there and see
what you can come up with. There's a
lot of info in the manual pages which
can guide you through the process and
allow you to get your bearings.

One thing I like about 4.3-R is that it
introduced some sound modules in /modules
that allow you to test out various
configurations before going through the
longer kernel recompilation process.

Do you really need sound? You could
always have a Windows machine with
your web browser and audio software,
sitting next to your FreeBSD machine.
You could even dual boot Windows+FreeBSD
and swith between them as necessary
(there is documentation on the Net
that tells you how to do this).

xmms is a cool mp3 player; freeamp
is kinda neat also.
