I haven't had audio since I bought the box. I applied the patches per your article: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2006-September/004864.html Had to rebuild the kernel because I couldn't kldload it -- the kernel's compiled-in sound driver appeared to conflict. After reboot, did a kldload /boot/kernel/snd_hda.ko Now I can cat .au files to /dev/audio0.0 and hear 'em fine. Will try other audios later. Haven't tried recording yet. You asked for success/failure, and here's my sndstat info; if you would like other info just ask. chris@Bacalao:~<130> cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: at memory 0xfebfc000 irq 16 kld snd_hda [20061017_0033] (1p/1r/0v channels duplex default) chris@Bacalao:~<131> uname -a FreeBSD Bacalao.shenton.org 6.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #11: Tue Oct 31 09:14:52 EST 2006 root@PECTOPAH.shenton.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SHENTON i386
