I have a SoundBlaster Live! card in one of my FreeBSD (5.2.1) machines. I have the following in /boot/loader.conf: snd_emu10k1_load="YES" And that's it. It automatically loads the (required) snd_pcm.ko module as well as the snd_emu10k1.ko module. The above works with a GENERIC kernel (you don't have to recompile the kernel). If you don't want to reboot, you should be able to type the following as root: kldload snd_emu10k1 Magic! Although I'm not sure if you have to restart X to make it realize that the sound device has been created and start using it. I've never actually tested loading it at run time because adding that line to /boot/loader.conf is one of the first things I do when installing my system. I'd be surprised if it didn't work, though. -- Danny MacMillan
