I recently bought a ThinkPad 600E, and while some patience is required it runs a minimal X session very acceptably on FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE.
Unfortunately, I seem to have ran into some trouble with the audio. The devices are a CS4239 and a CS4610. The snd_csa driver, which would normally work with the latter, doesn't support being paired with an ISA sound card. The CS4239 ThinkWiki page suggests that the ISA device is the one I should concentrate on getting working. As as result, i'm using the snd_mss driver.
Following the man page for snd_mss, my device.hints for the device are as follows:
Alas,
In case it's useful, my dmesg output regarding pcm devices is as follows:
Interestingly, if I change my device.hints to reflect pcm1 rather than pcm0, that same CS423x-PCI error occurs on pcm2.
I am possibly missing something straightforward, can anyone remember setting one up in the past who might be able to help me?

Code:

hint.pcm.0.irq="10"
hint.pcm.0.drq="1"
hint.pcm.0.flags="0x0"
Alas,
cat /dev/sndstat
shows no devices. I have also tried some of the settings from the ThinkWiki page (IRQ 5, port 0x530) without any luck. In case it's useful, my dmesg output regarding pcm devices is as follows:
Code:
pcm0: <CS461x PCM Audio> on csa0
pcm0: AC97 reset timed out.
pcm0: ac97 codec invalid or not present (id == 0)
device_attach: pcm0 attach returned 6
pcm1: <CS423x-PCI> port 0x530-0x537,0x388-0x38b,0x220-0x233 irq 0 drq 0,0 on acpi0
device_attach: pcm1 attach returned 6
Interestingly, if I change my device.hints to reflect pcm1 rather than pcm0, that same CS423x-PCI error occurs on pcm2.
