I have an isa AWE64 and I added # pcm Sound Device Driver device pcm # For non-PnP cards: device sbc0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15 I don't do sound out side of KDE and once you get the kernel and the /dev done, you can check by running mixer. What I see is ruby# mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 77:77 Mixer pcm is currently set to 78:78 Mixer speaker is currently set to 80:80 Mixer line is currently set to 78:78 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer cd is currently set to 78:78 Mixer rec is currently set to 0:0 Mixer line1 is currently set to 78:78 Mixer video is currently set to 78:78 Then, you know you have sound.
