Sorry bout the html coding. It's a bad habit, I know.
Shame.

Although this list is not the right (as in suitable,
not sinfully wrong ;) list to ask question, because I
had the same problem on my Clevo M22ES clone when
installed 5.3-R before; I can't resist to reply.

Compile a new kernel (More on compilin FreeBSD kernel
at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html
with this options
written in your kernel config file:

device     sound
device     "snd_ich"

No need to dynamically load any module because it'll
be statically linked in your new kernel.

You should subcribe to freebsd-questions at freebsd.org
because that's the most suitable list to ask technical
related FreeBSD questions (hence the name) and it's
very newbie friendly (It's true because I'm a newbie
too!). Sometime you'll find that the problem you're
facing have been answered there so it's a good idea to
search fer it on the list archive. There are wealth of
information on FreeBSD like
http://www.freebsddiary.org/ and others which just a
google away. Don't ferget to
keep your FreeBSD handbook handy too :).

*Shameless promotion* If you use Clevo M22ES notebook,
you can check my site out because as I learn more
stuff bout FreeBSD, I'll post it in the web.

FreeBSD newbie and damn proud of it.
