There was a number of emails on doing ES1371, which is what I have on my first machine. The Sound Blaster is on the second machine. The second machine started up as a 3.4 but that fouled up my HD and 4.0 was the only installation that worked. For the PNP's on 3.4, you used the device but none of the other parameters. I think you also needed "device pnp" even though that is for ISA. The problem is the pcm0 for ISA and pcm1 for pci. You had to link the right one with the device that you made, i.e., the pcm0 needed a "MAKEDEV snd0" and pcm1 needed a "MAKEDEV snd1". The config files for 3.4 are gone now. This area of FreeBSD got SO much simpler on 4.0.
