Hello!

I'm trying to use the above with FreeBSD 2.2.1, with small amount of luck.
I've installed FreeBSD and DOS on the same disk, so that I can set the 
card in MSS mode (the card can emulate both SoundBlaster Pro and 
Microsoft Windows Sound System), softboot to FreeBSD. So I managed to 
get FreeBSD to probe it. It looks fine:

and the /dev/sndstat looks fine as well:

Type 10: MS Sound System


Card config:

Audio devices:
0: MS Sound System (CS4231)

Synth devices:

Midi devices:

Timers:
0: System Timer

Mixers:
0: AD1848/CS4248/CS4231

But, when I try output some sound, it loops and the kernel vomits this:
Sound: DMA timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?

The DOS utilities allows me to set the SB PORT,SB IRQ, SB DMA and MSS 
PORT, but there is no setting for MSS IRQ or DMA. I think the default MSS 
IRQ is 10, because if I set FreeBSD to anything else than irq 10, it 
doesn't probe it correctly. 
I also have an idea of that the MSS doesn't use irq, maybe that could be 
the problem? Because when I installed a DOS-game, it didn't ask for the 
irq. "Not needed" or something it said.

I'm looking for help. It would be really nice if this could work. (The 
card was *cheap* :)

Thanks,
