Ok, I've fully determined that the sound card I'm having a problem with is indeed a SoundBlaster PCI100. Furthermore, according to Creative Lab's website it should use the es1370 driver not the es1371. Apparently this card was made by creative labs after they bought ensoniq. This card is VERY similar to the Ensoniq version, but a little different. The sound works, but comes out pretty quiet even at a full blast. (I can't even hear linus say how linux is pronounced unless I have my ear right up to the speaker) sndconfig and HardDrak both try to configure it as es1371, when I override and say it should be es1370 it complains, "Device or resource busy".
