>You have SB Pro sound card. M$ Windows doesn't care about it, but FBSD do. Doesn't Soundblaster Pro cards produce 8-bit sound only? My card is called Vibra 16, The dealer said it was a SB16 with radio built-in (for some reason, I don't believe him.) It has been fully compatible with a SB16 Value (I recently switched cards). After the change, no settings needed to be changed in any applications (DOS/Windows), games, whatsoever. >Try: cat /dev/sndstat | more The 16-bit dsp device (SoundBlaster16) works fine.
