Sound on FreeBSD

Getting sound on FreeBSD was not difficult. All I had to know was what audio device I was looking for. At first, I thought it was going to be snd_hda. In actuality, I used snd_ich. As usual, you can find out more from the man pages, man snd and man snd_ich.

All I had to do was add the line snd_ich_load="YES" to my /boot/loader.conf file and reboot. Apparently it can also be loaded in the kernel, but I am not sure the pros and cons of doing it that way.
