I just dropped a SoundBlaster Live! card into my box, and have followed

The following lines are in the compiled kernel:

I don't get the pcm0 lines that section 7.2.2 in the manual talks
about.  cat /dev/sndstat returns:
    FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
    Installed devices:
and nothing else.

kldload snd_emu10k1 yields no output whatsoever.  When followed by cat
/dev/sndstat it produces the same outputs as above.

kld_load snd_driver yields:

I recompiled with the sound and emu10k1 drivers commented out, and the
kldload and cat /dev/sndstat commands still yield the same.

I need to get sound enabled on this box, so I can do some online
training provided through streaming video.  Please, please, please tell
me I don't have to break down and install wankers on this thing ...


I would try this:

kldload snd_driver

then cat /dev/sndstat to see if perhaps a different driver is needed.
Also, you shouldn't need to recompile, just add the driver line to
/boot/loader.conf as described in the handbook.
Could this be (part of?) the problem? --

in dmesg:
   .
   .
   .
   isab0: <PCI-ISA bridge> at device 10.0 on pci0
   .
   .
   .
   pci3: <multimedia, audio> at device 10.0 (no driver attached)

I've re-compiled my kernel yet again to remove the sio device, since this thing has no 8250 or 16[45]50 serial ports on it, which got rid of the error messages in dmesg I was seeing about the port not being enabled and the IRQ not mapping.

It also has no parallel port on it -- can I remove the ppc, ppbus, lpt, plip, and ppi devices without breaking anything else?

The only peripheral ports this thing has on it are USB2.

I'm pretty much stuck with a custom kernel on this machine, since the wireless network I'm on requires WEP, and the wlan_wep module would need to be loaded by hand if I went with the generic kernel and module loading ... which would also mean hand-starting dhcpclient and ifconfig, since both will fail at boot-time without wlan_wep. All the wireless stuff works just fine with ath, ath_hal, ath_rate_sample, wlan, and wlan_wep compiled into the kernel.

The only thing I can't seem to get working is this blasted sound card. I wouldn't even worry about it if I didn't have to do this stupid flash based video training crap (why can't they just send me TFM so I can R it?!?). *sigh*
