Description

       The  snd_sbc  bridge  driver allows the generic audio driver sound(4) to attach to Creative Sound Blaster
       ISA (mostly SB16 or SB8, known as SoundBlaster Pro) compatible audio cards.

       The value of flags specifies the secondary DMA channel.  If the secondary DMA channel is C, set the flags
       to (C | 0x10).  For a sound card without the secondary DMA channel, the flags should be set to zero.

Diagnostics

sb_dspwr(XX)timedout.  A command to the DSP has timed out.  Check the I/O port configuration.

       badirqXX(5/7/9/10valid)  The IRQ given to the driver is not valid.
