Hi,

I am installing NetBSD1.3.2 on a Dell OptiPlex GXa. At this
point everything else seems fine except the sound card. The
sound card is the Dell buildin soundcard:
16 bit, integrated PnP Crystal CS4236B
According to the menu, this card provides all the sound
functions of the Sound Blaster Pro.

I have tried 
#cat somefile.au > /dev/audio

But the reponse is:
/dev/audio: Device not configured.

I then tried 
#audioctl -a

The output looks like:
name=SoundBlaster
version=3.02
config=SB_Pro
encodings=ulinear:8,mulaw:8*,alaw:8*,slinear:8*
properties=mmap
full_duplex=0
blocksize=400
hiwat=163
lowat=122
monitor_gain=0
mode=
play.rate=8000
play.channels=1
play.precision=8
play.encoding=mulaw
...

The more complete output from dmesg is:
sb0 at isa0 port 0x220-0x237 irq 7 drq 1: dsp v3.02
audio0 at sb0
npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0-0xff: using exception 16

isapnp0: <CS4236B, CSC0010, , Ctrl> port 0xf00/8 not configured
isapnp0: <CS4236B, CSC0003, , MPU> port 0x330/2 not configured

Obviously, this card also supports wss. In one of my configuration, 
I have added wss0 at the configuration file, but the wss0 irq 10 
conflicts with my Ethernet card because edge and level interupts.
Therefore I have deleted the device from the config file.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance!
