This makes it easier e.g. to change drivers when you change sound cards. I have no idea if your sound card is supported or not. To found out, do cd /boot/kernel ls snd_* then one at a time kldload snd_{next driver} until you load one which produces some messages on the console about recognising your hardware. Then put a line in /boot/loader.conf like snd_{your driver}_load="YES" e.g. snd_driver_load="YES" which catches my AC97 on-board sound hardware. --Alex
