Thanks John, but it's the ensoniq pci version and I've been told that it
works. I just need to config my system to detect it as I have been told to
do. So I'll try 'sndconfig' and see what happens. Unfortunately I haven't
had the time to play with the suggestions yet. And I'm still learning how
and where to type these commands. I hope to get it working with the rest of
the system, sad to have no sound...
