Try logging in as "root" and running (in text console mode) "sndconfig" and
see if that doesn't work. Default RedHat6/Mandrake 6 kernels SHOULD come
with the SB16 sound installed. What are the settings on this card, btw? Are
they the "standard" IRQ5 (or 7) I/O 220, etc? or are they non-standard?
Also, is this an ISP PNP card or is this one of the old "jumper-configured"
cards?
What else do you have (hardware wise) in your system which might be
conflicting with the sound card? What about a modem? What brand/model of
modem do you have in there? Is it a card, and if so, ISA or PCI? (Chances
are if it's PCI, it's a "WinModem" with one known exception, and if so,
ditch it, 'cause it wont' work!)
