Among the many functions on the motherboard provided by the chipset is the CPU to PCI bridge. If the correct driver for this is not loaded by the operating system, it won't work or will work inefficiently. Sorry if you've answered this before, but what make is your motherboard (i.e. who's chipset does it use?) Someone else is going to have to jump in and tell you how to find out what you've got or how to install what you want, 'cos i'm still real new (like 3 weeks) at Linux. If you have sound in Windows but not in ML it's not a hardware problem, it's a driver for something somewhere!

PS As has been said before, the Ensoniq based SB cards can be a trifle uncooperative! There are several versions of them, and the drivers do not seem to be interchangeable. I have one here that was working when I transferred it to the Mandrake 9.0 box which was then unable to see it. I solved the problem by getting a SB Live card. By the way, I haven't been able to get the 128 working on a Windows box again either! I'm about to try the 4th set of SoundBlaster 128 PCI drivers. Don't take it personally.
