And, did you put in the correct values for irq and drq ? If there was a conflict with the device check the details under -c option booting , i.e, at boot> , type in -c and verify. If there is no conflict then, it should be fine. Also try replacing the values with question marks where the kernel will detect the card itself : > >device sb0 at isa? port? irq 5 drq? > > >you might want to add the "conflicts" entries beside you device entries. >look at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig-config.html > >also, check the mailing list archives to see what others have done. > >if this is a 3.x version, check the errata about the "kernel.config". >it should be named kernel.conf...look at >http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.1R/errata.html > >the previous piece fixed my sound problems. > > I checked our FreeBSD database and located a sample kernel for the same device. The lines reads : Didier Derny writes: >How do I configure the kernel for the soundblaster 16. The following works for me. Note that various ports, irq and drq values are *not* the out-of-the-box defaults for the card. I had to make changes for it to co-habitate with various other cards in my system. # SOUND CARDS controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 10 drq 1 vector sbintr device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 6 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x300 device opl0 at isa? port 0x388 Upon booting, I get this: sb0 at 0x220 irq 10 drq 1 on isa sb0: <SoundBlaster Pro 4.12> sbxvi0 at 0x0 drq 6 on isa sbxvi0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.12> sbmidi0 at 0x300 on isa sbmidi: <SoundBlaster MPU-401> opl0 at 0x388 on isa opl0: <Yamaha OPL-3 FM> Best of Luck, Nataraj Dasgupta Philip Morris Incorporated, Network Operations Monitor/Analyst, World intranet HQ, Rye Brook, NY.
