We have a Creative Technology Sound Card.

It says that is is PnP-compatible adn follows
the SoundBlaster 16 convention.

The kernel recognizes it:

Apr  8 13:34:11 rebec /kernel: sb0 at 0x220 irq 7 drq 1 on isa
Apr  8 13:34:11 rebec /kernel: sb0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.13>
Apr  8 13:34:11 rebec /kernel: sbxvi0 at 0x0 drq 5 on isa
Apr  8 13:34:11 rebec /kernel: sbxvi0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.13>
Apr  8 13:34:11 rebec /kernel: sbmidi0 not found at 0x330



The problem:

The sound is horrible!!
It will not play anything for more than 1 second and then
it stops playing and then kernel errors appear:

Apr  8 13:34:39 rebec /kernel: Sound: DMA timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
Apr  8 13:34:44 rebec last message repeated 2 times



Has anyone gotten this card to work with FreeBSD 2.2??



Thanks for any help!
