In FreeBSD 4.x you need to crank AR-->the volume up a lot higher than you used to (I usually put vol, pcm, AR-->and ogain at 100 and leave my speakers in the middle position). AR--> AR-->Full duplex mode doesn't work in 4.0, but it supposedly works in AR-->4-CURRENT. Full duplex mode works fine in 3.x. Note that the SB16 AR-->has a design deficency that really makes it more like 3/4 duplex. AR--> AR-->To use the soundcard, you have to recompile a kernel (4.x) with: AR-->device pcm AR-->device sbc AR-->If you have an old ISA non-pnp version, you will also have to include AR-->the IO port, IRQs, and DMAs (see LINT). AR--> Thanks Jason, The file did specify the device as sbc0 with the recommended params. I'm at home now and will go back to work tomorrow and take a try at it.
