As the audio on the chipset is not wired in, you get nix out. You don't show it but your dmesg probably is listing the unknown PCI id for the ALC650, which I don't know the FreeBSD support status of. As your BIOS would most likely be initialising the audio hardware, it doesn't surprise me that playing a CD through it would work (I've seen similar before with unsupported sound cards). -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
