I had been playing with the bios settings for PnP and that's what
changed the IRQ and was causing the conflicts. I have now set IRQs 5 and
7, and DMA 1 and 5 to legacy isa in the bios and now I can play audio OK
via OSS emulation, I think. I still think I'm missing a Synth device, if
not more. In the isapnp docs there's an example of SB AWE card
(/usr/sharedoc/isapnpfaq.txt on my RH7.1). It shows in the example
sndstat (OSS) output ...

What do you show for your sndstat, please, and what options are you
giving to the module (sbawe, correct?) in /etc/modules.conf. Or just let
me see the whole file, please.
Thanks, John
