SB AWE64 is an ISA card - the results of all these tests is nothing. Run sndconfig (have to install it - not installed by default). -- Murray J. Root

So what is the final solution then?? I have the same card myself and have not had sound from 9.0 onwards, despite running sndconfig. These cards are quite common still and used to have great Mandrake support. What do I need to do to get sound now?? Cheers Jason PS, the sound on 8.2 with this card was great.

Please verify that a Linux-supported Sound Card is correctly plugged in. You can visit our hardware database at: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/hardware.php3 Note: if you've an ISA PnP sound card, you'll have to use the sndconfig program. Just type sndconfig in a console. but that doesn't work anymore either, (though it used to). When I run sndconfig and choose my card and run the probe and it says: An error occurred opening /dev/audio if I try the SB16 test which used to work for the same card it says the same. I need a solution too as I am tired of having no sound in Mandrake. Cheers Jason
