hi, just installed FreeBSD 5.3 working fine. what i learned from the doc is that in order to make the sound card working you have to re-compile the kernel (or am i missing something?) but i have also tried the FreeSBIE 1.1 a live cd based on freebsd which automatically detects sound card, i am

if your lucky you might need to simply add "load snd_pcm" to the start-up modules (but please check exact syntax this driver seems to work with most commonly available soundcards)

The command is kldload /boot/kernel/snd_pcm.ko depending on your soundcard you will need to load the proper .ko module.
