On my box the driver name showed up where yours says "unknown vendor". I'm guessing that the snd_ess driver would be the right one, though the man page doesn't list the chipsets it supports. Try adding snd_ess_load="yes" to /boot/loader.conf (for FreeBSD 5.x) I can't remember how to load a kernel module at boot on 4.x, you might be able to do it in /etc/rc.conf but I'm not sure. > Does this tell you anything?
