:-) What should they else do? However, maybe one day Linux will be a big enough a market that we can strike back :) BTW: For good sound support under Linux, I would not suggest a SB card. They tend to put the intelligence in the driver, which is not good for Linux. OTOH, I can't recommend any other card, too. > the only solutions i found was compiling sound as a module and setting the > soundblaster > with isapnp settings . > (i have a sb32 pnp so it's quite different from your ). > to use isapnp read the docs and the howtos called sbnp16 or sound ora awe 64. It should be sufficient to follow the directives in my howto. Especially on a Debian system. A few minor corrections follow: > i'll explain in few words what to do. > install isapnp package.
