I have that in loader.conf on an identical laptop running 4.9-STABLE, and on that laptop: > dmesg -a | grep pcm Preloaded elf module "snd_pcm.ko" at 0xc0588140. pcm0: <ESS Technology Maestro3> port 0xec00-0xecff mem 0xf8ffe000-0xf8ffffff irq 5 at device 3.0 on pci2 pcm0: <SigmaTel STAC9721/23 AC97 Codec> Preloaded elf module "snd_pcm.ko" at 0xc0588140. pcm0: <ESS Technology Maestro3> port 0xec00-0xecff mem 0xf8ffe000-0xf8ffffff irq 5 at device 3.0 on pci2 pcm0: <SigmaTel STAC9721/23 AC97 Codec> I suppose on the 5.2-BETA laptop I should see something similar?
