Default playing songs in text mode

I don't have X11 installed, but I'm using VESA. Just wanted to know can I play songs or get my sound card working without installing X11. I'm asking this because I remember I tried loading kernel module for my sound card without installing X11 some time back, and it failed. But I haven't tried compiling kernel with sound card support.

Any suggestions .

You don't need X11 or sound card support, sound cards are 100% handeled by the OS (FreeBSD) and X11 has nothing to do with it.

Try running this script:

As for audio player, there are many console audio players, a few from teh top of my head:
multimedia/mplayer
audio/mpg123
audio/mp3blaster
audio/ncmpc (Client for audio/musicpd)

Another console music player, with vi-like command mode:

audio/cmus

edit: can also be controlled remotely over a network.

Are you sure. I get following errors when I issue following command
Code:
#kldload snd_driver
sio4: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio4: port may not be enabled
ppc0: parallel port not found
sio4: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio4: port may not be enabled
cpu1: Cx states  changed
.
.(Same message again and again)
.
pcm0: <Intel 82801H High Defination Audio Controller> mem 0xfc300000-0xfc303fff irq 22 at device 27.0. on pci0
pcm0: [ITHREAD]
pcm0: <HDA Codec: Realtek ALC268>
..
and so on
But when I do cat /dev/sndstat
It shown snd_hda

I havent tried playing any sound yet. I don't see then when I tried from secure shell or from X11 (earlier). Is it normal?

That the sound driver loading, not an error. Try and play a sound and see what happens.
