Well, I _have_ a Soundblaster AWE64, and a Soundblaster16(dunno if this one works -- I 'inherited' it). I'd tried the AWE64 awhile back, and it seemed like things didn't want to play nicely, even w/ the onboard sound disabled in the BIOS. The main reasons I've been trying to get the onboard sound working is a) the principle of the thing, and b) I've had it working under RH w/ sndconfig (though w/ that damn 'pop'), and flawlessly under SuSE 6.4 w/ the OSS/commercial drivers and SuSE 7.0/Mandrake 7.2 w/ whatever drivers they use. Unfortunately, I never dug around to see 'how', since things just 'worked'. Thanks for all your help, Eric. I really appreciate it.
