Comment(by wmichaelb):

 Kris: thanks for getting back, still no sound.

 I backed up both files first. My rc.conf file now looks like this:

 and my loader.conf file looks like this:

 Finally, the mplayer window says this:

 I'm no programmer, but I notice two things. Please note the first line of
 the mplayer window:

 #224 (No audio output after PC-BSD 8.0 Install) ??? PC-BSD.desktop

 and then a bit further down, after the data on the mp3 file, I notice
 this:

 [AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: No such file or
 directory

 I will stop here to restore the original files and try again.
