I have a Sound Blaster 2 (the box claims 2.0, ALSA 2.01+ and OSS/Free
2.1; take your choice) and I get no pcm sound from either native or OSS
utilities. I'm not convinced that this card has a mixer (neither ALSA or
OSS/Free detects one) although the snd-mixer module is loaded by
modprobe.
/proc/asound/card1/pcm0 appears to contain correct information during
playback.

Any ideas?
