Why don't you post some more info about your system? For example: the output of 'uname -a', the output of 'dmesg', the type of hardware that you are using. What does 'all of a sudden' mean? Did you upgrade something?
I'm not telling that I can solve your problem, but other people need to know these things before they can help.

FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE and all of a sudden means i cvsuped my ports/src and did installworld and buid kernel yesterday 6th April ... rebooted my machine and sound hasnt worked since.
/dev/sndstat shows nothing
in loader.conf i have: snd_via8233_load="YES" # via8233
kernel i have: device sound
dmesg shows no errors at all and as previously said sound was working before the reboot.
loading the module using kldload shows: kldload snd_via8233.ko kldload: can't load snd_via8233.ko: Exec format error
You don't have to put "device sound" in your kernel config. I use the following in /boot/loader.conf:
sound_load="YES"
snd_es137x_load="YES"
I wonder if you are experiencing some weird interaction between using snd_via8233 as a module and compiling device sound into the kernel. Try either compiling everything into the kernel or only using modules for sound.
