You might want to give ALSA a try. It has a configuration program (interestingly, called alsaconf). AFAIK, it has support for less sound cards than the kernel modules, but if you're just using a SoundBlaster, it should be fine. You'll need to install these packages: alsa-base alsa-modules-XXXXXXX alsautils (or alsa-utils if you're using woody) alsaconf esound-alsa (and remove esound) libasound0 If you're using a custom kernel, you should install alsa-source instead of alsa-modules-XXXX.
