Before I begin I'd like to apologize if this is the wrong list to be
posting to.

Has anyone been able to get this card to work under FreeBSD 2.2.x or 3.0?

I've tried to install it with the new audio drivers found on Luigi Rizzo's
homepage as well as the FAQ found on many pages outlining the installation
and setup of various cards.  The program pnpinfo identifies my soundcard
but the card is recognized by my PnP BIOS but when it's booting the card
doesn't initialize.  I've tested the card with Win95, where I also checked
the settings and it all seems fine but the version of FreeBSD 3.0-SNAP I
have installed doesn't seem to like it.

Here is what I have in my dmsg.boot file:

The PnP recognition seems to detect the card:

But the soundcard doesn't initialize even though I've added these lines to
my kernel config file and built my new kernel but the above was the
result.
