I'm still kind of a newbie, so if any older hands see me saying something wrong in here, let me know. I got sound working on my laptop, mostly using all my device information printed out from previous windoze install & reading Annelise Anderson's book on FreeBSD. Sound is not enabled by default when you install FreeBSD. First of all, did you compile sound support into your kernel? Do you know the irq/drq info? On my Toshiba 4015cdt, in the kernel config, between the nic's & pseudo devices sections, I added: #Audio devices device pcm0 at isa? irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x0 So, to be safe, in /usr/src/sys/i386 do: cp GENERIC NEWKERN (or whatever name you want) vi NEWKERN Make the changes above using your irq, drq & flags info, not mine. Save it & close vi (or whatever editor you use) While still in /usr/src/sys/i386, do: config NEWKERN You'll get a message telling you to remember to do a make depend cd ../../compile/NEWKERN make depend make make install When finished, reboot the system. When up do: dmesg | grep pcm You should see something like: pcm0: <ESS 18xx DSP> on sbc0 Then do: cd /dev sh MAKEDEV snd0 (that is, if the pcm has 0. If 1, then use snd1) Now you should have these in /dev: /dev/audio /dev/dsp /dev/dspW /dev/midi /dev/mixer /dev/music /dev/sequencer /dev/pss Besides dmesg, you can see configured sound devices with: cat /dev/sndstat Hopefully, this'll get you going. Like I said tho, you have to know the irq & drq to put in. If you don't have that info from another install & don't know how to get it in fbsd, maybe one of the more experienced people on this mailing list can tell you how to get it.

Everything works fine except the sound. Whenever i start xmms i get an error saying that /dev/audio doesn't support 44100 hz. The soundcard is a Yamaha OPL3 soundblaster compatible, it works on any other operating system that has run on the computer (ive tried them all). Running audioctl -w play.sample_rate=44100 it changes the value 45454 why?
