1) Try patch from ariff@
http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/misc/idlecpu_apic_4.diff

and set /boot/loader.conf
hw.apic.idle_cpu to "1" or "2"

2) For HDA, use ariff@ RELENG_6 patch:-
http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/snd_RELENG_6_20061220_136_lowlatency.diff.gz

Set /boot/loader.conf
boot_verbose="YES"
sound_load="YES"
snd_hda_load="YES"

As stated by ariff@ :-
Please supply enough information while doing bug reporting!

	1) uname -a
	2) pciconf -lv | grep -B 4 audio
	
	In case the driver loaded, but failed to work:

	3) dmesg | grep ^pcm , or grep ^pcm /var/run/dmesg.boot
	   whichever seems appropriate
	4) sysctl hw.snd.verbose=2 ; cat /dev/sndstat
	5) sysctl hw.snd
	6) output of /usr/sbin/mixer

... along with your kernel config

freebsd-multimedia at freebsd.org is the official channel to report and discuss anything related with sound and multimedia.

Hope this helps.
