I went and picked up a Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 today because i wanted to get sound on my FreeBSD 3.3-RC box. I got this card because it is supposed to be one of the most compatible cards with freebsd. This is what i was told on irc #freebsd on efnet. I put the card in, compiled into the kernel as follows: controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 I also compiled in POSIX options "P1003_1B" options "_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING" options "_KPOSIX_VERSION=199309L" The reason for this is xmms was giving me scheduling errors in /var/log/messages when i would try and play an mp3. After i compiled the kernel i continued to cd /dev ; ./MAKEDEV snd0 After a reboot prospects looked quite well. the devices were all detected just fine with no errors. I login, startx, open xmms and still no sound. the mp3 file won't even play because of an error with the sound card configuration. I continued to removing sound from the kernel, recompiling and trying OSS because I wanted to see that if by chance it wouldn't lock up for once. Of course it did though. However I noticed this when I was configuring OSS. It detected the card as a Sound Blaster Vibra16. I suppose this is a sb16 just a new name for it? The card in the user manual is refered to as a Sound Blaster 16 but what ever. I figure this is doesn't matter anyway. So now I sit here completely confused and not knowing what to do. I have searched www.freebsd.org for a simple howto setup Sound Blaster 16. I guess I'm a bad "Web Surfer" because I couldn't find anything. :-) If someone could please get back to me on this issue as soon as possible i would greatly appreciate it.
