Thank You,

Setting these environment variables had no effect on my machine.  
$cdcontrol play 1 still produces drive activity but no sound.  The 
graphical apps I am trying such as Abraca, or MPlayer, still do not seem 
to recognize an audio CD.  Gnome Audio CD Extractor - Sound Juicer - 
still errors with 'No CD-ROM drives found' even though Metallica is in 
the drive.
I am doing $portupgrade -a with updates downloaded today, to see if it 
will change anything.  Other than that FreeBSD 9 is working splendidly 
on this laptop.

Michael
