Quoting John Galt <galt@inconnu.isu.edu>:
 [000829 22:15]: 

May I also chip in with a problem that I also have and have never been
able to sort out, but this is with Crystal 4236 on FBSD 4.1-S
The unknowns.... just see the output of my dmesg. I can only play audio
CDs by pressing the button on the drive, no MP3 palyers can work, though
they give me no errors either...

##
pcm0: <CS423x> at port 0x534-0x537,0x388-0x38b,0x220-0x22f irq 11 drq 1,0
on isa
0
unknown0: <GAME> at port 0x200-0x207 on isa0
unknown1: <CTRL> at port 0x120-0x127 on isa0
unknown2: <MPU> at port 0x330-0x331 on isa0

What can I do to get these 'unknown' be known??

Cheers guys..

John Galt>(the 4.X version: device	pcm,  not the 3.X version: device
