Hello, I have the same soundcard in my freebsd box too. here's my sound card entries : device pcm device sbc After compiling and rebooted the box, make sure you created the snd device entries in /dev directory like so: cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV snd0 Sound should work for you by then.

I have read and re-read the audio discriptions in the LINT file but can't find any direct reference to my card though there are references to other SoundBlaster cards. Can you please let me know what I entries I should have? Just for your into, the LINT file directed me to /src/sys/i386/isa/sound/sound.doc for a further reference. It appears this file is quite out of date since it instructed me to use the "controller" keyword rather than "device".
