If your sound card is not PnP, you can look on the card to get the set-up by
looking at the jumpers. If it is PnP, the job's a little harder. You may have
to run (as root) "pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf" (without the quotes from a shell
prompt). Then edit the resulting file to meet your needs (controle resource
conflicts etc.). Usually the suggested default settings in the users manual
will work ok (hopefully you have one). One thing to note - the /etc/isapnp.conf
file can be intimidating. Read the documentation for isapnptools prior to
trying my suggestion. Next you run "isapnp" (as root - no quotes). Then you
should be able to run sndconfig after a restart (not sure if the restart is
needed, but maybe to set up the card - isapnp will/should do that
automatically on start-up after the previous proceedure is performed).
