Hello:
I have only compiled a kernel for FreeBSD for the series 4.x. I now
installed version 5.4, and I do not have sound. I am compiling my
custom kernel essentially to get sound. In the series 4.x the driver
"pcm" worked fine for me. My question is whether I should stick to
the same driver or I should use another driver in the 5.4 install.
Any feedback will be appreciated.

Hi. Check out:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html
It's "device sound" in 5.x instead of "device pcm". Obviously then add
in support for your specific sound card with the documentation
provided there.
Hope that helps. :)
It helped a lot. I issued the command "kldload sound" in my original
kernel, and loaded the module snd_ich. I have sound now when I click on
"test sound" in the sound section of the CC and on starting a KDE session.
Problem is, I only get sound through the right hand side and I get
nothing when trying to play a CD. Any ideas?
Teilhard.
Glad you got it working. Now for the new issues:
I have not used KDE in a long time but I do know that their aRTs daemon
takes over sound. Are there any settings showing the left and right
channels that you can adjust? Maybe called "Balance"? You might also
make sure that the connector on the actual sound card going to your
speakers/headphones is plugged in all the way. I know if mine is only
halfway in then I only hear one channel.
As for CD audio not playing, have you made sure that the audio connector
is connected from your CD drive to your sound card? It could be that, or
the mixer levels in aRTs are muted or not raised for CD's.
