What version of FreeBSD are you trying to install? If it is 4.x or higher... just add the lines device sbc=20 device pcm to your kernel configuration file, then build and install a kernel, and reboot (this assumes a PnP or PCI card) if it's not a PnP or PCI card... change the sbc line above to: device sbc0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15 (fill in your card's irq, and drq's (the second drq is in the flags) after you reboot with a new kernel, type: dmesg | more and look for sbc0 and pcm0 lines. If they are there... do this as root: cd /dev sh MAKEDEV snd0 After that, your sound apps should work.
