Watch the kernel messages(via tty0 or checking dmesg) for the success/failure of the driver loading. Also, you can "cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp" to do a quick sound-check from the console. If you're running FreeBSD 5.x(which would be the case if snd_driver existed but didn't help), the device should be created automatically if it succeeds, and you can "cat /dev/sndstat" for info. If 4.x(which just uses "snd" not "snd_driver"), you may have to create a device node, which is something I have no experience with. If none of this works, you might want to check the HARDWARE.TXT file for your version of FreeBSD(should be on the installation media). Not only will this let you know the card is supported, it might offer some insight as to the driver? HTH, I can't presently think of anything more. -BB
