sound under Debian

[simons@alpha14.vki.ac.be]

Hello, I have trouble getting sound out of my PC under Debian.
I tried consulting some of the doc's and Linux HOWTO's in vain.
(a bit too complex for a Linux newbie I'm afraid)

I (seem to) have a "Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 Plug & Play"
soundcard which works when I run under W95.
I was able to get some parameters out of my Window$ setup :

   IRQ=05
   I/O : 0220h-022Fh
   I/O : 0330h-0331h
   I/O : 0338h-038Bh
   DMA : 01
   DMA : 05

I believe I have to recompile the kernel somehow.
Do I need the awe-drv and related packages ? Or do I already
have some kind of usefull sound driver by default ?

You see I am quite in the dark still.
For completeness : I have installed Debian version 1.3
together with a Window$ partition.

Many thanks,  --Erwin
