sndconfig worked. Now there is also the /dev/sound directory, and during the kernel boot I see that module 'sb' is loaded.
Now, could anybody explain what happened? My understanding is that sndconfig updated /etc/modules.conf, which instructs the kernel to load and configure the sb module. Can anybody confirm? And who created /dev/sound? The board is still not displayed in Mandrake Control Center, but that's not important as long as I can hear my MP3... thanks again, raffaele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > On Monday 30 September 2002 03:38 am, Raffaele Belardi wrote: > >>I have an old ISA ESS1688-based sound card.
