Do you mean that the Vibra *and* this card are both installed in the
computer? This maybe the problem, the driver is getting confused. As I
said before, you have ``device pcm0....'' in your config file but the
probe is finding pcm1, which means a PCI card.
If so then does the Vibra work if you remove the SBLive!?
