O.K. I don't have the sound drivers compiled into the kernel, I load
them after I boot. Here is what lsmod has for me.
via82cxxx_audio 8400 0
soundcore 2372 2 [via82cxxx_audio]
ac97_codec 7172 0 [via82cxxx_audio]
ufs 51336 0 (unused)
Nevermind the ufs part, I still use FreeBSD a lot. I use WindowMaker
for my windowmanager. I went into dselect and installed mixer.app, and a
graphical CD Player for WM. After starting up X, both worked fine. I'm sure
Gnome has a mixer. Do a search in dselect for mixer and see if you can find
one for Gnome. I also saw elsewhere in the list that Gnome uses esd. You
may want to add that also.

I didn't realize that there was anyone else running a shuttle
mainboard. Cool. On an unrelated topic, do you get some garbage on the side of
your screen that seems to be caused by interence from something? My board
has a Savage S3 chip on board and I'm assuming that this is the cause of
the problem. This only appears in console mode, not in X.
Good luck
