Ah, did you do a MAKEDEV when you installed your soundcard?? It
appears not:
# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV snd0
NOTE: If your sound card is PCI then use
# ./MAKEDEV snd1
0 is for ISA devices. mixer is a symlink to mixer{0,1}:
parish# cd /dev
parish# ls -l mix*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 6 Mar 4 21:34 mixer -> mixer0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 0 Mar 4 21:34 mixer0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 16 Feb 5 13:53 mixer1
parish#
