I have a the same sound card and have PnP OS enabled and everything works fine. You may have an irq conflict. When Mandrake installed it detected the sound card and set it up perfectly.

Dear Mr. Smith, I have a Stupid Sound Blaster Live! Value (pci) on one machine and it works as well as sound does in Mandrake (with the aRts and all). I have found that the trick is to run sndconfig first thing after install and reboot. So unless you've spent 8 hours updating, maybe reinstall and run sndconfig the very first thing. My modem is pci, and the video is agp (which is another problem that I need help with). While this may very well do the trick, there are other routes you might consider. One I've found helpful -- mostly with old hardware -- is to try each of the modules listed in sndconfig one at a time till one works. Another I'm planning to try this weekend with a much newer box if the bios update I got doesn't do it is to try the free oss which comes with lm instead of alsa. As oss had worked when I had RH 6.0 installed, I see no reason it not worth a shot. May work for you too.

[newbie] BIOS setting: Plug 'n play OS
Hi all, I've discovered that my sound card won't work unless I disable the PnP setting in my BIOS. I'm dual booting to Windoze98 and Mandrake, so I'm wondering what the consequences will to Windoze. Will Windoze start spontaneously launching national defense missiles in the name of Peter Pan or something? Thanks, Miark Registered Linux user #197870

RE: [newbie] BIOS setting: Plug 'n play OS
Windows will be quite peacfull with the BIOS set to non PnP OS. I had a problem with SB Live Value in 7.2 with KDE 1.99, no sound, resource busy; but if I logged into gnome (which I like more anyway) the sound worked so the problem is not the card but the program.
