I've got sound working on my FreeBSD box. Finally. I tracked it down to a conflict between the onboard card and the sound card from my old HP Pavilion. I thought the card was a Soundblaster Live! But it turned out to be some wierd (unsupported) sound-modem combo card called Chameleon. I read that it's a crappy card, so I decided to go with my onboard card. Recompiled the kernel and now it works fine... Still having network issues... I can talk to the other computers on the LAN... My WinXP box is the gateway and the FreeBSD box recognizes it... but it can't talk to anything outside... =|
