First thing right off the bat, ./MAKEDEV snd0 does NOT make a device snd0. What it does is is sets pointers for the /devs such as mixer, audio, midi etc to point to the zeroeth device. Try doing "ls -las /dev/mixer". Doing ./MAKEDEV snd0 and snd1 will switch the pointer from mixer0 to mixer1. To be of any more help to you we would need to see your dmesg, output of "cat /dev/sndstat" and possibly the relevant section of your kernel config file. I'm not sure but I'm guessing the lack of output from "pnpinfo" is indicating this is not a pnp card. Being a non-pnp card may preclude this site of being any help to you but it never hurts to look: http://freebsd.peon.net/freebsd/ext/ext-tutor9.html You could also try Luigi's Sound Driver (same caveat guys?) or OSS. Remember, SB16 compat does not make an SB16. Good luck.
