This may be accomplished in one of two ways. The easiest way is to simply load a kernel module for your sound card with kldload(8). Alternatively, you may statically compile in support for your sound card in your kernel. The sections below provide the information you need to add support for your hardware in this manner. For more information about recompiling your kernel, please see Chapter 9. Note that the first method mentioned is to use kernel modules. :D -- Freddie Cash fcash-ml@sd73.bc.ca
