How do I tell which driver I need for sound?

[Stephen Riehm]

Hi,

I'm also a bit lost with this. (Yes I've also read the sound-setup handbook)
My /boot/loader.conf consists of:

autoboot_delay="2"                                                                                                   
zfs_load="YES"                                                                                                       
sound_load="YES"                # Digital sound subsystem                                                            
snd_hda_load="YES"              # Intel High Definition Audio (Controller)                                           
snd_driver_load="YES"           # All sound drivers

and even after multiple reboots, cat /dev/sndstat reports:

root:~ # cat /dev/sndstat                                                                                      
Installed devices:                                                                                                   
root:~ #

and:

root:/boot # kldstat

(no snd_hda in there?)

I'm running 10.0 STABLE on an Intel NUC D54250WYK (amd64)

Thanks for any insights!
