Congratz, Have you tried this? # kldload snd_driver (This tries all sound drivers..one of them might work...) If this works, you might want to add the driver to the /boot/loader.conf, you can find an example in /boot/defaults/loader.conf .
Good Luck!

Subject: AC97 sound support
I've just installed 5.1 -RELEASE on my new machine, a HP a350n. For sound this computer uses onboard RealTek AC97 Audio.
I went throught the normal installation steps, then ran the steps for soundcard configuration in the manual. I ran kldload. I recompiled the kernel with 'device pcm'. I tried 'options PNPBIOS', at which point I received a message about an unkown option.
dmesg | grep pci gives me this line: pci0: <multimedia, audio> at device 31.5 (no driver attached)
dmesg | grep pcm returns nothing.
This has all been seen on this list before. I searched c.u.b.f.m and -questions and have seen this come up before, but I never saw a resolution.
My question is:
Does all this mean the FreeBSD does not support onboard Realtek AC97 Audio? I'd just like to know before I go out and buy a soundcard. It is not that I'm cheap, I just like finding out how FreeBSD works. :-) However it looks like a Soundblaster Live is the answer.
Thanks for the help in the past and future.
