Hi,
You have to recompile a kernel with Sound Support built in it, you can
find information on how to do this in this page

> Hello all !
> I have a Creative Soundblaster 16 Plug&Play sound card .

> #this card works fine in win95.

> I've read both LINT settings and the /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sound/sound.doc
.

> According to LINT this card should be :
> device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1
>
> and I've got them all matched with my card .
> #checked them in win95|control panel|system settings
>
> and then for more info on these sort of cards LINT referes to :
> /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sound/sound.doc
>
> Now, in this file: <sound.doc> , they've said :
> "To enable sound driver support, the controller sound code must be
included
> in your config file:"
> ^^^^^^^^^^^
> # SoundBlaster DSP driver - for SB, SB Pro, SB16, PAS(emulating SB)
> #device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 drq 1
> ^^^^^
> # SoundBlaster 16 DSP driver - for SB16 - requires sb0 device
> #device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5

> first : which config file is it refering to ?
> second : this is what I did when booting :

> and there in Multimedia section <last line>, there is no device .
> and I can't Expand it. it's not even collapsed .
> it's just there like it's not probed at all .
> third : in my /dev I have no sb* <soundblaster-related entry >.
> what do I do ?

> and one last thing :

> "Probing problems: Since the SB16 uses the same IRQ and addresses for
> the different drivers, some of the snd drivers will not be probed because
> the kernel thinks there is a conflict. This can be worked-around by
> using the "conflicts" keyword on the sb16's device line."
> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>
> in which file can I find/change the line on sb16's device ?
> is it a driver code which needs to be recompiled for this machine ?
