Yes, a sound driver was found for your devices. cat someRandomFile > /dsp, should send out some noise. It may not, in which case check the mixer. /usr/sbin/mixer comes with the s= ystem. It is possible the volume is off. Still no joy? I don't remember how I figured this out but I had to make entries in /boot/loader.conf. The handbook explains how to do this. It uses= device.hints vice loader.conf. I did my setup long ago. Good luck, Vlad =20
