Although this list is not the right (as in suitable, not sinfully wrong ;) list to ask question, because I had the same problem on my Clevo M22ES clone when installed 5.3-R before; I can't resist to reply. Compile a new kernel (More on compilin FreeBSD kernel at <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html">Building and Installing a Custom Kernel</a>) with this options written in your kernel config file: <tt>device sound device "snd_ich"</tt> No need to dynamically load any module because it'll be statically linked in your new kernel. You should subcribe to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org because that's the most suitable list to ask technical related FreeBSD questions (hence the name) and it's very newbie friendly (It's true because I'm a newbie too!). Sometime you'll find that the problem you're facing have been answered there so it's a good idea to search fer it on the list archive. There are wealth of information on FreeBSD like <a href="http://www.freebsddiary.org">http://www.freebsddiary.org/</a>; and others which just a google away. Don't ferget to keep your FreeBSD handbook handy too :). *Shameless promotion* If you use Clevo M22ES notebook, you can check my site out because as I learn more stuff bout FreeBSD, I'll post it in the web. FreeBSD newbie and damn proud of it. Karl http://www.alsemo.isdangerous.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
