Subject:   Soundblaster AWE64 under 4.0-STABLE

Hey.

	I've got a Soundblaster AWE64 PNP. I was using the Voxware drivers
under 3.4-STABLE, and it worked perfectly. Using essentially the same
drivers in essentially the same configuration on the same computer the
sound card has stopped working. Nothing can open /dev/dsp, and 'cat
/dev/sndstat' reports 'Device not configured'. I have used MAKEDEV to
create the appropriate devices. 

Dmesg snippet:
sb_reset_dsp failed
sb_reset_dsp failed
awe0 at port 0x620 on isa0
AWE32: not detected
awe0: driver is using old-style compatability shims


'uname -a':
FreeBSD spike.brainlink.com 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #0: Sun May  7
18:50:58 EDT 2000     root@spike.brainlink.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ZALEM4
i386

The relevant parts of the kernel configuration:
device		snd
device sb0	at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1
device sbxvi0	at isa? drq 5
device sbmidi0	at isa? port 0x330
device awe0	at isa? port 0x620
device opl0	at isa? port 0x388

	I've tried:
	
	1. The above with and without 'options PNPBIOS'.
	2. Enabling only 'device pcm', with and without explicit
irq/drq/port settings.
	3. Enabling 'device pcm' and 'device sbc0'

	I'm stumped. Can anyone tell me what's causing the 'sb_reset_dsp
failed' messages and which drivers I should be using? Is Voxware
deprecated in favor of pcm? Have other people had similar problems with
these cards? I have attached my full kernel config file, and I'm not
subscribed to -questions so please cc: directly to me. Thank you.
