I am a newbie and have installed the 5.4 Release. I've configured the
wireless network, nvidia-driver, and xorg. I've also recompiled the kernel
to include the sound driver and snd_sbc for my sound card. Thanks to the
developers of FreeBSD, contributors to the handbook, the book, "The Complete
FreeBSD" and Google for making it possible.
Unfortunately, the sound card is not working. Please see the attached dmesg
log, and let me know if you have any ideas on how I can fix it.
In 5.X it is better *not* to compile the sound card (and many other) drivers
directly into the kernel, but to load them as modules when the machine boots.
This makes it easier e.g. to change drivers when you change sound cards.
I have no idea if your sound card is supported or not. To found out, do
cd /boot/kernel
ls snd_*
then one at a time
kldload snd_{next driver}
until you load one which produces some messages on the console about
recognising your hardware.
Then put a line in /boot/loader.conf like
snd_{your driver}_load="YES"
e.g.
snd_driver_load="YES"
which catches my AC97 on-board sound hardware.
