You referred to kldstat.  I'm not sure what I'm looking for with that
or what switch I may need to use.  I typed and received the following
information:

# kldstat

 1    8 0xffffffff80100000 7c36b8   kernel

I added the founding command and got the following results:

# kldload snd_driver

28    1 0xffffffffa7897000 225d     snd_vibes.ko

After doing that, I still do not have any sound.  I notice that
snd_via8233 is not in the resulting list of loaded drivers in kldstat.
 My assumption is that it didn't load through kldload since it's being
loaded at the kernel level.  With the command of:

# cat /dev/sndstat

FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <VIA VT8235> at io 0x1000 irq 10  (5p/1r/0v channels duplex default)

It would seem that my sound driver is loading.  The audio software
seems to believe that there is a sound card to attach to.  Could there
be a problem with the sound driver I'm using.  Would there be a reason
why snd_via8233 works fine in 5.3 and not 5.4 pre-release?  Also,
could the usb mouse problem be part of the same problem, reasoning
being that there may be a global hardware issue and that it may be
conflicts in device handling vs. a configuration issue?  Regardless,
I'm happy and willing to try any thoughts.

I, also, tried to manually choose snd_via8233 with this result:

# kldload snd_via8233
kldload: can't load snd_via8233: File exists

In the meantime, I'll try to trace down some helpful error messages
from the usb mouse problem.
