Those devices are for OSS, and modern linux distributions tend to use ALSA (with optional layers on top such as pulseaudio or ESD) Long story short, you don't need them. Your devices should show up with aplay -l > The AWE64 is plug and play so I may have to do something > to the on-board chip set to get it back as it is also useful for > the type of recording I am doing. A lot of times onboard devices will be disabled when you plug in an equivalent (sound, video, and networking are all susceptible). Look through your BIOS and play with options until you start seeing it detected in your bootup sequence (dmesg|grep) or via lspci. -- Liam
