To Whom It May Concern:

	Hello, I bought a brand-new Sound Blaster 32 PnP
last night, and to my dismay, I cannot get it working on
my system.  I am running FreeBSD 2.1.5, and there are no
IRQ conflicts.  In DOS, the card recognizes under irq 5,
so I modified my kernel *and* /sys/i386/isa/sound/sound_config.h
to irq 5, and it still does not recognize the card.

	I suspect I have to turn off PnP, I had to do that
on my 3com 3c509 to make it work, but I don't know how to
deactivate it on this card.  If anyone has suggestions or
experience, please send e-mail to me.  ..And if this card
is flat out incompatible with FreeBSD, then I will sell it.
(it is in mint condition, still in the antistatic bag and
has all the manuals and software, I bought it last night).

	Thanks very much.
