What kind of soundcard do you have actually? I have a genuine SB16, and I use Luigi Rizzo's pcm driver. It works great. dmesg: pcm1 (SB16pnp <Vibra16X> sn 0xffffffff) at 0x220-0x22f irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x13 on isa kernel config: controller pnp0 device pcm0 at isa ? port? tty irq 5 drq 1 If you have an ESS emulating a SB, I haven't tried this. I have a laptop with the ESS688 soundcard, and I use OSS to drive it.
