Here's the information about the sound card I am working with:

My sound card is a SBPCI128 by Creative Labs.

I only used the card with FreeBSD 3.2

The only line I had to add to my kernel config file was:
device pcm0 at isa? port ? tty irq 10 drq 1 flags 0x0
(This causes a message "pcm0 not found" to appear at boot time but
just ignoring it seems to be o.k. - allthough I would prefer
not to see it, at all.)

These are the messages that appear previous to the message "pcm0 not found":
es1: <AudioPCI ES1370> rev 0x01 int a irq 5 on pci0.9.0
pcm1: using I/O space register mapping at 0xe400

I had to build the audio device snd1:
# cd /dev
# sh MKDEV snd1
and to use the mixer to set the volume to another value than 0.
I use the following script /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mixer.sh at boot time:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/mixer vol 60:60 pcm 60:60 cd 60:60

Well, I guess, I should not be listed as the contributor, because I
catched these information out of the mailing lists and would prefer
the original poster to appear as the contributor.
Cheers,
Dirk
