Add device pcm to your kernel.
I don't think its quite that easy, but its even easier now. % cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf % grep -i pcm * GENERIC:# PCCARD (PCMCIA) support GENERIC:# Pcmcia and cardbus bridge support GRUMPY:# PCCARD (PCMCIA) support GRUMPY:# Pcmcia and cardbus bridge support NOTES:# pca: PCM audio through your PC speaker NOTES:# gp: National Instruments AT-GPIB and AT-GPIB/TNT board, PCMCIA-GPIB OLDCARD:# PCCARD (PCMCIA) support OLDCARD:device pcic # PCMCIA bridge Does not appear to be a pcm device available for statically compiling into the kernel. But never mind as its available as a kld in /boot/kernel/ So go look in /boot/kernel/snd_* for the device which matches your sound hardware and use kldload to give it a try something like this: % su # kldload snd_es137x I have it loading at boot time now, so kldstat looks like this: # kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 12 0xc0100000 37aa68 kernel 2 1 0xc047b000 6190 snd_es137x.ko 3 2 0xc0482000 1d320 snd_pcm.ko 4 1 0xc04a0000 4a30c acpi.ko 5 1 0xc346d000 7000 ipfw.ko 6 1 0xc34bc000 2000 blank_saver.ko 7 1 0xc3592000 18000 linux.ko Notice snd_es137x needed snd_pcm and pulled it in too. snd_driver is a mega-module including all the other snd modules. If you are not sure about what sound hardware you have, then "kldload snd_driver" and go look at the tail of dmesg to see what hit. Then when you know what is needed edit /boot/loader.conf. Add a line like this as I have done for snd_es137x to load the module at boot: snd_es137x_load="YES" Now the head of my dmesg looks like this after boot: Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.
