Since the current kernel hasn't P&P support, you'll need the isapnp tools to configure your card. I don't know whether there is a Debian package of it available yet, but in any case you can pick up a copy from sunsite. Archie tells me the URL is ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/pub/pnp/utils/isapnptools-1.8.tgz Grab the package, compile it, and RTFM. Basically, you'll have to run pnpdump to extract info about the SoundBlaster card and its possible configurations. Capture that info to a file and edit it to give you the configuration you want. You must then create a small init file that reads this config each time you boot in /etc/init.d. See the readme provided there for details on how to set up your own init file. Once you have that down, you can recompile your kernel to give you sound support for the Soundblaster with the paramaters you'veconfigured. Works for me, YMMV.
