Hi,

I have not managed to get sound going in linux at all, except for audio
cds (although gnome manages to get sound). I firstly tried while using the
precompiled kernel that came with the distribution (RH5.2) and used sndconfig
to set it up, but it says:
/lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/sb.0:
init_module: Device or resource busy

the same happens when i boot off a new kernel that i made, and when i compile
sound support in it gives the same message at boot. I used the standard sound
blaster drivers, which i am told work with ESS cards. It detects my sound card
fine, at boot or in sndconfig, and gets the IRQ's etc sorted out. I don't think
that there is an IRQ conflict, my card is on IRQ 5 now, when it was on 7 it
conflicted with the parallel port and it told me so.

Any ideas? The card works fine in windows.

Thanks,
Ben
