The message seemed to be screwed up because it was MIME or something. Now
it's uuencoded so perhaps it will show correctly..


The system is Red Hat 5.1
Kernel 2.0.35
Sound Blaster 16

The problem is that I just cannot get the driver working.
Could someone please post a step-by-step manual how to make regular Sound
Blaster 16 soundcard working?

I believe that it's the most common soundcard out there and therefore that
would be a great help for all of us dummies.

I installed everything; alsadriver, libs and utils.
I didn't know what I should put to the /etc/conf.modules file, so one guy
gave me his /etc/conf.modules file and said that altough he has a SB64, it
should work.

Here is my conf.modules and the output of cat /dev/sndstat

Here is the conf.modules file :

---cut---

alias char-major-14 sound
alias snd-minor-oss-0 snd-mixer
alias snd-minor-oss-3 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-4 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-5 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-12 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-sb16
options snd snd_major=14 snd_cards_limit=1
options snd-sb16 snd_index=1 snd_port=0x220 snd_irq=5 snd_dma8=1 snd_dma16=5

cat /dev/sndstat looks like this :
