When I had the same problem, people told me to do this (and it worked) : First, you have to compile a new kernel with sound support in it (note that with a sb compatible card, the IRQ must be defined two times, the first time on the device line : device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr the second time with a line like this : options SBC_IRQ=5 because of the macro SBC_IRQ used in the driver). Then, boot your PC with DOS, run the driver furnished on a diskette with the card, press CTRL-ALT-DEL (don't use RESET), boot your PC with FreeBSD, build the devices (something like 'cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV snd0'), connect a 500 Watt audio amplificator, and verify your installation with the following command : cat /kernel > /dev/audio :-) Alexandre Fenyo
