You may have better luck with:

device sb0     at isa? port 0x240 conflicts irq 5 conflicts drq 1 vector sbintr
device sbxvi0  at isa? port 0x240 conflicts irq 5 conflicts drq 5 vector sbintr
device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330

You have no io-address for your sbxvi0, and you must tell both that the
io-address conflicts as well as the IRQ.  I'm a bit surprised that
config allowed your settings.
