Just disable the CS4232C and use your AWE ..
Your motherboard should come with a manual which should have the info
on how to disable the CS4232c if not just call the motherboard manufacturer.
Here is an old posting from Randal Hopper:

Subject: ANN: AWEDRV 0.2.99c
AWE32 & Sound Blaster 32 owners:
AWEDRV 0.2.99c was released recently. This drops right into a
2.2-ALPHA kernel -- just follow INSTALL.frbsd in the driver package. New
features: recent versions now allow loading .SBKs/.SF2s directly without
patching, and also support stereo/multi-layer instruments.
If you'd like to try it, I've created a help page you might want to
browse:

Have fun,
Amancio
