You don't have to rebuild the kernel to get sound working. kldloading the right module should be enough. You can find the available modules with fk@r51 ~ $ls /boot/kernel/snd_* /boot/kernel/snd_ad1816.ko /boot/kernel/snd_maestro3.ko /boot/kernel/snd_als4000.ko /boot/kernel/snd_mss.ko /boot/kernel/snd_cmi.ko /boot/kernel/snd_neomagic.ko /boot/kernel/snd_cs4281.ko /boot/kernel/snd_sb16.ko /boot/kernel/snd_csa.ko /boot/kernel/snd_sb8.ko /boot/kernel/snd_driver.ko /boot/kernel/snd_sbc.ko /boot/kernel/snd_ds1.ko /boot/kernel/snd_solo.ko /boot/kernel/snd_emu10k1.ko /boot/kernel/snd_t4dwave.ko /boot/kernel/snd_es137x.ko /boot/kernel/snd_uaudio.ko /boot/kernel/snd_ess.ko /boot/kernel/snd_via8233.ko /boot/kernel/snd_fm801.ko /boot/kernel/snd_via82c686.ko /boot/kernel/snd_ich.ko /boot/kernel/snd_vibes.ko /boot/kernel/snd_maestro.ko I don't know your laptop and therefore don't know which module you need, but dmesg could give you a clue. kldload snd_driver will load all sound modules, hopefully one of them will attach. > 2.

I wouldn't call them essential, but reading them won't hurt. I suppose you already know about the FreeBSD handbook. =20 > 3.
