Therefore, loading it via module is the only way. Besides, I like using modules instead of compiling it in the kernel that way I can load and unload as necessary. GENERIC FreeBSD kernel (kernel out of the box) supports sound when you load the right module for your soundcard. I load modules for much of my system just to make kernel size smaller. For example, I don't see the point for compiling usb scanner in kernel when I use it so rarely. Modules can be loaded from /boot/defaults/loader.conf For safety, copy loader.conf to /boot/loader.conf and only incude overrides in /boot/loader.conf. Of course, you can modify the /boot/defaults/loader.conf directly also. Sung Friday, July 20, 2001.
