is my sound card supported?

[fbsd_user]

I've found that FreeBSD so far has supported every odd sound card
I've thrown its way.

Even (especially!) those on-board sound things built into
motherboards and laptops these days.  FreeBSD supports them all (and
Windows usually doesn't without the special CD-Rom from the
motherboard manufacturer.)

Just add "device pcm" to the end of the kernel conf file, build a
new kernel, and I'll bet almost any sound card will work on reboot.

This question has been answered many times on this question list.
You would have found your answer if you had searched the questions
archive like you are supposed to do before posting here.

No sound card will work without this kernel device added.
You have more than enough HD space to compile the kernel.

HI
I have a digital PC 5000. It is an old model. It came
with windows and thus I made out the sound card to be
CRYSTAL WDM Audio COdec.
How can I enable sound? I would not like to recompile
as I only have 2.1 GB of HDD. better to lead kernel
module.

I am attachjing dmesg.
TIA

Linux Airlines
Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start
their own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave
the runways themselves. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of
printing the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket
yourself. When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four
bolts, a wrench and a copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the
fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plane leaves and
arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is
wonderful. You try to tell customers of the other airlines about the
great trip, but all they can say is, "You had to do what with the
seat?"
