Hey, I also had the same problem. The AWE 64 just doesn't even make  noise!.

While its true that the manual has an example on set it up, it just 
didn't work. I tried recompiling the kernel many times, even a couple of 
"make world", both with FreeBSD 4.5 and 4.6.2 release.

I gave up as I don't really need the sound to enjoy the system, but I 
think that there is probably an issue with the AWE64 and FreeBSD.

By the way, the card is on a ISA slot and works fine when running win2k.
