KDE looks for sound card support when starting up.  The default installatio=
n=20
of FreeBSD 4.8 does not have sound card support compiled in the kernel.  If=
=20
you have not added sound card support to the kernel configuration and=20
compiled a custom kernel, there is no sound card support for KDE to find.

If you have a PCI sound card, it is likely that adding 'device     pcm' to =
the=20
kernel configuration file will work.  For kernel configuration and=20
compilation instructions, see:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html

Best of luck,
