Correct. It is a 16bit ISA Soundblaster AWE32 PNP. Not a clone, but a soundlaster. It has been two or revs back that it quit working. ???

sounddrake doesn't work with sblive! and newer kernels. Unfortunately, Mandrake denies my bug reports and they want to release a buggy 7.1 this week :( I added this manually to /etc/modules.conf: alias char-major-14 emu10k1 alias sound-slot-0emu10k1 alias sound-service-0-0 emu10k1 alias sound-service-0-1 emu10k1 alias sound-service-0-3 emu10k1 alias sound-service-0-8 emu10k1 This is for OSS, not ALSA.

I did miss that part, but it should automatically detect it even if you added it after the OS was installed. ?? So are you not installing the standard apps?
