    Clean install of the subject OS within VMware. Had an issue with the
    display not going beyond 1280x768 but fixed it with the following config
    file:
    /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf:

    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device "Card0"
    SubSection "Display"
    Modes "1600x900"
    EndSubSection
    End Section

    Now there is no audio, even though it is enabled in the VM, as well as this entry in the /boot/loader.conf file: snd_driver_load="YES"

    Any ideas on where to go from here are much appreciated.

    Sound is now working. I was focused on testing the sound in Settings/Sound
    and clicking on the left and right speaker. This test never worked, and
    still does not work. Yet, when I do a BEEP test via command line, sound
    works. When I access multimedia content on a browser, sound works. It
    makes no sense to me, but at least the sound works (for the most part)
    LOL. Thank you for your help.

    rc.conf is not meant to contain "service" commands. There should be configuration variables only. If you really want to put something
    manually to rc.conf, then only this line:

    sndiod_enable=3D"YES"

    Save the file and then run as root the following command:

    service sndiod start
