Mazen,

Don't use both device pcm AND device pmc0 at....  You should just use:

device pcm

do a kernel compile with the following commands from /usr/src/sys/i386/conf

#config <kernel name>
# cd ../../compile/<kernel name>
# make depend && make && make install

At this point, you MUST reboot your machine.  Once rebooted, install amp 
(/usr/ports/audio/amp) and test with a .wav file.  If you have KDE Games 
installed, you can use the following command to test:

# amp /usr/local/share/apps/kasteroids/sounds/Kasteroids.wav

If you're NOT running KDE at that time, it should work.  If not, try running 
KDE and you should start to hear sounds.
