The handbook has pretty good sound documentation on how to get started: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html I personally would: 1) kldload snd_driver to find out what driver my card needed 2) Then compile device sound and my sound driver into the kernel as the handbook says. Hope that helps. -Mark
