Hi.

I am hoping someone here can help me to get sound working on 
my computer.  I have tried a lot, and followed all the advice I 
could get my eyes on, but with no success.

System is:

Pentuim box, FreeBSD2.1, Creative labs awe32 16bit soundblaster card.

The relevant section in my kernel looks like this:

controller      snd0
device sb0      at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 conflicts drq 1 vector sbintr
device sbxvi0   at isa? drq 5
device sbmidi0  at isa? port 0x330      
device opl0     at isa? port 0x388

Also, upon bootup the speakers "pop", and the messages suggest the 
sound device is being probed (i.e no complaints whilst booting up)

However, when I try and cat a .au file to /dev/audio, I get no sound, 
and the cat process just hangs there, ie cursor is not returned, and 
no error messages are given.  All the devices exist in /dev.

I am at a loss to figure this one out.  Any ideas gratefully accepted.

Regards,

Marcus.
