I migrated from PC-BSD to pure FreeBSD and sound is the last thing that needs fixing. On PC-BSD I just downloaded OSS and did pkg_add (I think from su mode) and
the card Aydiology SE was flawlessly detected and I had sound in all the medial players.
I am now using FreeBSD 6.2 Stable (Generic Kernel) Xorg 7.2 and Gnome 2.18. I compiled OSS from ports as a supper use.
I add oss_enable="YES" to rc.conf
and I also edited dvifs
own speaker root:operator
perm speaker 0666
and
perm /dev/dsp 0666
own /dev/oss root:operator
perm /dev/oss 0666
own /dev/pci1 root:operator
perm /dev/pci1 0666
perm /dev/mixer 0666
perm /dev/mixer0 0666

*** Some errors were detected during the tests ***
however from normal mode everything is tested OK but I can not hear the sound during the test. Also Gnome volume manager is saying that no device is detected
