For 4.0, you frequently add "device pcm" to your kernel, config, make,
and make install it. After you reboot, you "cd /dev" and "./MAKEDEV
snd0". This sequence works for the many. It worked on 2 of 3 of my
systems. The 3rd system required an sbc driver. Since you didn't
specify what sound card you have in your system, you may have to read
/sys/i386/conf/LINT and see if you need something else.

I use sound mainly on KDE and that has a few quirks once you get your
sound card recognized.

Good luck,

Kent
