sb 7136 1
sb_lib 33120 0 [sb]
uart401 6224 0 [sb_lib]
sound 54256 1 [sb_lib uart401]
soundcore 3504 5 [sb_lib sound]
means the drivers are loaded and
5: 0 XT-PIC soundblaster
means it's using IRQ 5 and the 0 means the driver hasn't
received an interrupt yet.
What happens when you try 'play some_wave_file.wav' ?
To be complete, what (sound relevant) entries does
'cat /proc/ioports' show?
To be more complete <grin> what's in your
/etc/modules.conf file?
Last question, is your card ISA plug and play?
