Hi,
I'm not sure if putting your sound card on int8 is a good idea
as that is reserved for the real time clock. (Which might explain why
the sound is choppy with .1 sec frequency). By default an sb16 will
be on int5 (second lp port) and that has always worked fine for me.

Is the sb16 a pnp version? 

just my 2d worth.

That's interesting.  What motherboard  CPU do you have in the machine?  I
ask because
I've had this long term problem with a friend's machine where I get the
exact same
behavior with sound under Linux.  His motherboard is some 486 clone with a
Cyrix (AMD?) 133
"Pentium" upgrade chip.

[newbie] More Sound Card Issues...

OK, I ran sndconfig and it didn't recognize my ISA SB16 card.  I manually
set it up (to the best of my degree) on IRQ 8.  Ok, I know that has to be
the right IRQ because when I try to test a sound in KDE, it plays it, but
it plays it in bursts.  It is kind of hard to explain.  It will play for
like .1 second, .1 second, .1 second until the whole wav is finished.  I am
not sure why this happens or how to fix it.  Any and all help would be
appreciated.  I am very anxious to get linux up and running with sound, one
obstical at a time I guess. ;)

Later and thanks in advance,
