I'm running driver snd_hda in 6.2 and works great thanks to somebody on the list. He gave me the following info Download the precompiled kernel module from here: http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/lowlatency/ Decompress the archive, copy sound.ko and snd_hda.ko to /boot/kernel (you may as well copy all the .ko files, but these two are the ones needed) then do (as root) a kldload snd_hda ( and add snd_hda_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf so it loads with each reboot).
