Soundcard problem

[kenneth hatteland]

After switching from FreeBSD 7.0 release to stable I have had a big 
soundproblem.
When compiling a kernel as I used to with device sound and device 
snd_emu10Kx as options I now get an error saying mixer is not configured 
etc.And no sound at all.  Have tried several mixers to but to no avail, 
I do not understand the problem enough to correct it.

Googling doesn`t help as no one reports the same error with audigy 
soundcards.
If  I compile a kernel without the snd_emu10kx device sound works 
partially, sometimes playing ok, and then often sounding like an alien 
attacking ( digital noise of the horrible kind) Sooner or later the 
system locks down after playing about 5 songs with normal sound forcing 
me to hard switch the system off..  I find this extremely annoying.

Does anybody have a clue ? I am not sure which output you`d want me to 
provide for this so instead of pasting every output I know I thought to 
ask first...
I haven`t reversed my system to 7.0 release so that could maybe fix it, 
but I was hoping to stay with 7.1 :)

Thanx for listening.....
