this is the soundconf file for a Gateway Solo 2300 LS with a Yamaha YM715 sound chipset. i am running kernel 2.0.33. btw, the card is not configured as a soundblaster. i had the same experience as you did, namely if i booted into windows and then linux the sound card will work. unfortunately the card is not 100% soundblaster compatible, so you have to configure it differently. anyway, the sound works fine for me now, so give it a try. let me know if it works for you.
sorry it took this long to send you this message, but the laptop is somewhere in europe right now. --alex-- -- | I believe the moment is at hand when, by a paranoiac and active | | advance of the mind, it will be possible (simultaneously with | | automatism and other passive states) to systematize confusion | | and thus to help to discredit completely the world of reality. | ------- Start of included message ------- /* Generated by configure.
