The following reply was made to PR kern/10371; it has been noted by GNATS.

After a bit more homework, it seems the issue is with the 512 MB RAM. I see that someone else has reported hassles (kern/9515), claiming that the problem is with ISA DMA memory in general. I contacted the author of that PR, and he feels that *no* soundcard will work with FreeBSD in a machine with 512 Megs or more. Since I submitted the original report, I've come across about five other people having the same problem. As far as I recall, moving to -current sorts it out (but not -stable, as of about a week ago). I'd give more details, but freebsd-questions is down a the moment.
