yep, it is a pain in the butt. sounds like you had a really fun time with that. ;) I think if I was to compile another kernel with that card, i would compile soundblaster and sound support into the kernel and use that. Maybe you can find more info on that at: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/Soundblaster.txt and perhaps this would work if it was compiled as a module: modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=3 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x300 that's all i know!
