Well, it really does sound like an interrupt problem... The fact that you don't get sound on a FreeBSD boot, suggests that the interrupt your card wants is not the one FreeBSD is giving it. The slow printing suggests that the soundcard is competing with the parallel port. I would think that the soundcard init program is soft-configuring the interrupt. So, can you set the soundcard interrupt by jumper? Is there a config program that lets you allocate an interrupt manually?
