Regarding the SoundBlaster support, I had the same problem the first
time I tried to configure it. I found that I had to configure in the
"sbmidi0" device to solve the problem. (This is a bug in the sound
support, or at least in the commentary in LINT.) Here is what I am
currently using:
controller snd0
device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 drq 1 vector sbintr
device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5
device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330
Incidentally, this configuration seems to work just fine for the
built-in sound support on the Intel Endeavor motherboard.
N.B., I disabled my "lpt0" device, which was also using irq 7. If you
don't do that, you'll have to add the "conflicts" keyword to the line
for "sb0", as shown in the LINT file.
