This is seems to be a recurring problem in the archives, but I didn't see a resolution off hand. My problem, shown in /proc/asound/sndstat:
Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v0.9.0beta12 emulation code) Kernel: Linux heebiejeebies 2.4.18 #1 SMP Thu Feb 28 11:22:02 PST 2002 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: Sound Blaster 16 at 0x220, irq 5, dma 1&5 Audio devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Synth devices: 0: OPL3 FM Midi devices: 0: MPU-401 (UART) Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG If I read some the messages in the archive correctly, it sounds like I should be using the module snd-card-sbawe instead of snd-sbawe. However snd-card-sbawe doesn't exist. In fact it appears that the compilation of snd-card-sbawe (or lack of) was discussed on the devel list: http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/thread.php3?subject=%5BAlsa-devel%5D+snd-card-sbawe+not+building&list=12349 But there doesn't appear to a resolution to this problem. So what am I missing? Below is a list of my loaded sound modules.
