SB-16 is the *best* supported card under Linux and used to work with even kernel 1.0.xx ! If it is statically compiled into the kernel nothing else needs to be done. You will get a message something like this at kernel boot: Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen SB 2.01 detected OK (220) In case it is compiled as a module you need to load sb.o as a module through your init scripts or subsequently. ALSA and OSS are externel drivers, and are loaded seperate- ly, and need not be loaded if SB support is compiled/loaded with kernel.
