What kernel version are you using? (use "uname -r" to find out). I think that SB16 is an ISA card, so you have to turn on ISA PNP. You can do it using ISAPNP (install the "sndconfig" package). Or you can update to the 2.4.18 kernel which has true ISAPNP capabilities. (way easier to configure) I had the same problem with a SB32 card. Good luck!!

I hope you can help me. I've Debian Woody running on my pc and a soundblaster 16 in it, but I can't use it. When I try to play music using play, cdplay, mpg123 or any other program an error message like "Device dsp not found" occurs. I tried to configure the card with sndconfig. sndconfig finds the card but when it tries to test it there's the same error message. My pc ist a Pentium 75 Mhz with 64 MB RAM but I don't think that the hardware is the problem because about 2 weeks ago the sound worked under Red Hat 7.1. Please help me! I don't know what to do! > > black.fish So, does that device file exist? It's possible that /dev/dsp(0) has not been created. I don't know how to create the individual sound-related device files, off-hand. I use the script that comes with the ALSA drivers source called 'snddevices.in' which creates all the device files and links needed for sound.
