I have 2 soundcards laying around, I was only trying to get either one of them to work, not both at the same time. Right now I have the AWE64 installed, I added device sbc like you said, and now I still get no sound. Everything gives me an error telling me my soundcard is missing or not configured. When my system boots up, it lists for my soundcard the following sbc0: setting card to irq 5, drq 1, 5 pcm0: <SB DSP 4.16> on sbc0 I am running FreeBSD 4-release by the way.
