Isn't it possible to turn off the PnP features via a DOS program included
with in your sound card kit? Even our cheap PnP network cards here have
a little DOS configuration program to turn PnP off and when turned off,
configure IRQ(s), I/O-Addrs and Memory Addrs...... If there is not such a
possibility with your sound card, then it is very poor hardware I think :((
With PnP turned off FreeBSD should see the OPL compatibility chip for the
first time. When it finds it, then you may continue to include Sound Blaster
drivers (SB16, I hope SB32 is drivable by the SB16 driver.......).
