Sound in FreeBSD 9.0 amd64 Realtek ALC662

I was really impressed with the 9.0 installation but need to sort out sound problems and mpd configuration. I will put musicpd in another thread as the executable and the configuration files have been renamed adding to the confusion. I would like to use the onboard sound chip.

Code: 
dmesg:
pcm0: <HDA Realtek ALC662 PCM #0 Analog> at cad 2 nid 1 on hdac0
pcm1: <HDA Realtek ALC662 PCM #1 Digital> at cad 2 nid 1 on hdac0

Code: 
pciconf -lv:
hdac0@pci0:0:27:0:      class=0x040300 card=0x0d4d105b chip=0x27d88086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller'
    class      = multimedia
    subclass   = HDA

I have tried both devices without any sound
Code: 
hw.snd.default_unit: 0 -> 1
Vole# mixer
Mixer vol      is currently set to  75:75
Mixer pcm      is currently set to  75:75
Vole# sysctl hw.snd.default

The hardware worked in OpenBSD and I can
Code: 
cat test.wav > /dev/dsp
and get sound.

It looks like the sound module loads automatically in FreeBSD 9.0 - the above code was snagged without a snd_hda_load entry in /boot/loader.conf although I did try put in the entry without any improvement.

Any suggestions or pointers as to where to look appreciated.
 
I learned a lesson. I tried the same install disk on a different motherboard. The original motherboard (Foxconn) and the second motherboard (Intel) have the same chipset. Sound worked out of the box with the Intel board.
