Well, you have two problems, neither of which is related to FreeBSD: 1) if you are to have any chance of a working installation, you need to disable the VIA sound chip on the motherboard--read the manual, there's usually a large, block jumper for this purpose (the BIOS disable doesn't work because it doesn't block auto-detect--it's useless); 2) some VIA boards won't play nice with Soundblaster Live! at all--it creates PCI contention issues (a BIOS Flash upgrade "might" help). jmc On Fri, 2002-11-01 at 21:28, TOH, Boon-Wee wrote: > thanks for replying, but disabling the on-board VIA chip in the bios does not > seem to work. > > i recall reading somewhere that Creative Soundblaster Live!
