With sound_load="YES" and snd_ich_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf and you were only able to get half the sound - ensure you are using the proper driver. When in doubt, load em all: sound_load="YES" snd_driver_load="YES" This will ensure that you get them all and perhaps it will work after the fact. Then, play around untill you get the right driver. You can find them listed in /boot/defaults/loader.conf near the bottom of the file. HTH -- Best regards, Chris Blessed are those who go around in circles, for they shall be known as wheels.
