I installed FreeBSD-11.1 on my laptop and updated to 11.1-RELEASE-P5 as per the handbook http://freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html. All went well, and my system seems to be happy.
Following through to "23.5.4.4. Building a Custom Kernel", I built and installed my custom kernel according to those instructions. Everything seems to be working fine, except for audio.
Audio seems very fast and screechy, everyone sounds like a little girl talking very fast. This seems to be an issue with my custom kernel.
I copied my config from GENERIC, which seems to have no problems. The relevant sound config in GENERIC is:
My custom kernel has:
Further troubleshooting makes me suspect some issue with my kernel and the sound module. I tried the following combinations:
1) Keeping only snd_hda + snd_ich in my custom config
audio issues as above
2) Keeping all devices in my custom config
audio issues as above
3) Keeping no devices in my custom config
no audio. but if I
4) Keeping only device snd_ich in my custom config
audio issues as above
I kept this line in all four options above.

Code:
# Sound support
device sound # Generic sound driver (required)
device snd_cmi # CMedia CMI8338/CMI8738
device snd_csa # Crystal Semiconductor CS461x/428x
device snd_emu10kx # Creative SoundBlaster Live! and Audigy
device snd_es137x # Ensoniq AudioPCI ES137x
device snd_hda # Intel High Definition Audio
device snd_ich # Intel, NVidia and other ICH AC'97 Audio
device snd_via8233 # VIA VT8233x Audio
Code:
device sound # Generic sound driver (required)
device snd_ich # Intel, NVidia and other ICH AC'97 Audio
1) Keeping only snd_hda + snd_ich in my custom config
audio issues as above
2) Keeping all devices in my custom config
audio issues as above
3) Keeping no devices in my custom config
no audio. but if I
kldload snd_ich
, audio is back and sounds normal just like with GENERIC kernel.4) Keeping only device snd_ich in my custom config
audio issues as above
I kept this line in all four options above.
Code:
device sound # Generic sound driver (required)
