Hmm, three drivers exist to run Sound Blasters. You might
try kldload(8)'ing each in turn and trying again.

    snd_sb8.ko*
    snd_sbc.ko*

Of course, I'd think that an unsupported onboard chip
is rather rare in 5.X ... but you don't mention what you're
running.

If you installed a Blaster, did you disable the onboard
chip in the BIOS?

You should probably post your `uname -a`, the relevant
sections of dmesg(8), and a step by step listing of actions
you've taken to questions@ if you really want good help,
though :-)
