I use the following in /boot/loader.conf: sound_load="YES" snd_es137x_load="YES" I wonder if you are experiencing some weird interaction between using snd_via8233 as a module and compiling device sound into the kernel. Try either compiling everything into the kernel or only using modules for sound. Jon
