Hi Michael,
what card have you got?
for example, I can see mine with pciconf -lv :
[...]
pcm0@pci0:27:0: class=0x040300 card=0x05b71014 chip=0x26688086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82801FB/FR/FW/FRW Intel High DefiNition Audio Controller'
class = multimedia
[...]
(look for 'class = multimedia' or pcm@ device...
Also, after loading the snd modules, what does
cat /dev/sndstat
show? if the drivers has detected your card properly, you should get some
info... For example , I get:
[betom@ayiin] [Wed Feb 21 11:02:46 2007]
/usr/home/betom
$ cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <Intel 82801F High Definition Audio Controller> at memory 0xb0000000 irq
11 kld snd_hda [20070105_0038] (1p/1r/2v channels duplex default)
