Hi,
	I am trying to enable the builtin sound card present in Dell
Dimension 8300 but cant seem to get it done. As far as I remember, in
FreeBSD 5.3 it can be done simply by having the following two options in
the kernel config file:

device sound
device snd_ich

However, FreeBSD 5.1 does not recognize any of these even (Even man sound
or man snd_ich does not work even though it should work on any FreeBSD 5.*
So I guess I have to give some hardware hints in order to

config MYCONFIG gives the following error report:
=================================================

config: Error: device "sound" is unknown
config: Error: device "snd_ich" is unknown

(/boot/kernel/ however has the files snd_ich.ko as well as snd_pcm.ko)

The output of cat /dev/sndstat is as follows:
=============================================

FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:

The 'seems to be relevant part of dmesg' is here:
=================================================
pci0: <multimedia, audio> at device 31.5 (no driver attached)

The entire dmesg output is as follows:
