If you want to configure your SB16 PnP then you need to download ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/FreeBSD-PnP.tar.gz to configure your PnP card . Once you install the PnP driver and its configurations matches your kernel file configuration for the sound blaster if you have any problems feel free to post and please include: 1. the output of dmesg 2. the output of "cat /dev/sndstat" Cheers, Amancio >From The Desk Of "John J.
