Hello. I'm trying to try out FreeBSD 4.3 after using
Debian for several months. I'm having trouble getting
my sound card working. I have a built-in AC'97 card,
but I don't think it's supported, so I put in my old
A-Trend card with a Yamaha YMF724 chipset. Here are
the lines in my kernel configuration:

device snd
device opl0 at isa? port 0x388
device uart0 at isa? port 0x330 irq 5 # for midi

I don't know if that's the right midi device, but it
seemed to be the only generic one. My card is MPU-401
compatible with midi. Now the problem is that when I
tried to play a wav with Xmms, it said it couldn't
open the device. When I tried to cat the wav to
/dev/dsp, it said the device isn't configured
correctly. There is a /dev/dsp which is a symlink to
/dev/dsp0. I have read and write permission to both.
The only thing I can imagine that could be wrong is
the port number in the kernel configuration. I used
what was listed in LINT. I can't think of an easy way
to check what port my card uses though to make sure.
Can I omit the port number and have it autodetect? Is
there soemthing else it could be? Thanks.
