Sorry for probably spamming forum cus problem is as old as my sound card :) but I remember when I got it and it is with me almost 8 years :) I'm newbie to linux - I wanted to live windows behind but I have problems... I started X but there is a problem with sound...
I found lots of info about installation and so on... but many links especially to drivers are broken :[ and I cant find any mirrors. But I think new kernel has this driver build in... It has all the necessary options turn on I think... I made a pnp config. Looks like it works fine... but still when I turn on X (KDE) there is an error and I don't have sound :[
Hmmm... and if smb will read it (sorry for my English ;) I will have another problem - my TV card ;P but I don't want even think about it right now :)
I've got the same sound card, and all the I did was "modprobe sb" in the root command line. Since it worked, I stuck that line in "/etc/rc.d/rc.local". I'm still too chicken to mess with the kernel. Oh, I'm using slack9.0.

a better way to do that is add a line to /etc/modules.conf :-)
Thanks for the tip, Stillwater. I noticed slack9.0 probes the the awe card and sets it up automatically, but I don't know if slack8.1 can do that . If not, then one must learn isapnp.
