I believe the soundblasters in dell machines are special in some kind, I have a dell as well and the SB Live that came with it works fine under windows, but does not work at all under FreeBSD, however I had an old Live (exact same spec as the one that came with the machine) and it works just fine, I have no idea what's different about the dell ones.

I have recently purchased a Dell Dimension 8250 which contains a Creative Labs SoundBlaster Live! DD 5.1 card. My previous SoundBlaster Live! card was detected in FreeBSD 4.7, but this one is not detected in this machine using FreeBSD 5.1 RELEASE (cvsup to it). No pcm devices show during boot. Is there a way to give the kernel a hint? There is no way to shut of PNP in the BIOS, as Dell as not added this option.
Windows XP is showing:
I/O Range: DC40-DC5F IRQ: 18
Thanks in advance,

Dell has a bad habit of using unique PCI-ID's for hardware that it buys from others. Can both of you do 'pciconf -lv' and post the output? It might very well be as easy as just adding the Dell IDs to the driver.
