Hello everybody, having problems with your SoundBlaster card. I recommend to recompile the kernel and to set the irq, ports, etc. Don't forget to say yes to the sound devices. I know, compiling the kernel is not the easiest thing and eats time, but it's worth this. Your new kernel perfectly fits your system. I've never had any problems with sound doing it this way. Possibly, there are parameters to give at the boot prompt wich serve this purpose as well, but I don't know them. Can you tell me about that?
