Read the man page on pcm... man pcm I had lots of problems my pci sb16 card until I read that man page. It explained a great deal. Depending on what you use, you will use snd0 or snd1. I had to use snd1 because it is a pci card. It is explained in the man page. In the kernel config file (in /usr/src/) I have this... device pcm0 The snd0 controller is commented out and so are the other devices, such as sb0 and awe0. pcm does it all apparently. I had to also add a line to my /boot/kernel.conf file. It is... pnp 1 0 os enable port0 0x220 irq0 5 drq0 1 drq1 3 It is like different for you as I have an SB16 card. The pcm man page will help you here. I hope this helps.
