VT82C686/A/B AC'97 Audio Codec

[William Dean DeVries]

I would try to load the pcm module using kldload first. "kldload  
snd_pcm" will probably work.  If it says the file exist, it's alread in  
the kernel.  In 4.8, you need to make the device file in /dev still.   
You should read the section in the handbook on freebsd.org "Setting Up  
the Sound Card."  I rebuilt my kernel to get mine to work, something  
else was trying or was using the irq my sound card need.  It was  
probably fixable by editing device.hints in /boot, but the default  
kernel has a lot of stuff in it you probably don't need.
