The following is from my config file: controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 device opl0 at isa? port 0x388 device joy0 at isa? port "IO_GAME" You also need to cd to /dev/ and do a MAKEDEV snd0 as root. That's all I had to do to get my SoundBlaster 16 working under FreeBSD. Mine is not Prug 'N Pray. Jamie Bowden -- If we've got to fight over grep, sign me up.
