sound card doesn't work!
Hello I have just installed Free BSD on my old computer system to learn how to use it and I can't get any sound. When I start KDE desktop I receve a message that says

"Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such file or directory)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device."

I have even tried to hook up an usb cable sound card but that won't work either. Right now I'm useing a P3-866/128 RAM/20G and presumably onboard sound of some type, Is there anything someone could tell me to get my sound card working.

Much appreciation, Ac101
