1. You claim to be "new to linux". 2. You have engaged in installing Slackware. Successfully I suppose? 3. You have engaged in attempting to get two soundcards to work with it. 4. One is an ISA based soundcard. I therefore wonder just how *new* you are? Your project is in no way for a beginner. Could you therefore please be more specific and tell us the following: 1. What have you attempted to do to make the card[s] work? 2. What information have you read before posting? 3. How have you presently set up your system? 4. How much of a beginner are you, ie. what do you know about Linux and/or UNIX? 5. Why did you choose Slackware and not some other distribution? If you could answer these as thoroughly as possible, I and others would have a much better chance of helping you.
