Make sure your kernel has support for your SB built in.  Look in
/sys/i386/conf/LINT
for the proper kernel config lines.  Also, make sure your hardware setting
and these
config lines match.    Build a new kernel

%cd /sys/i386/conf
%vi MYKERNEL        (edit the file)
%config MYKERNEL
%cd /sys/compile/MYKERNEL
%make depend 
%make all
%make install
%cd /dev
%sh MAKEDEV snd
%shutdown -r now
