Maybe this is true, maybe not. Sometimes the PnP Bios is sufficient,
sometimes it only initializes a part of the adresses. In this case you have
to use ISAPnPtools anyway.
The best way to check is to try it. For the SB 16, there is a good chance
that PnP Bios is enough, but for every soundcard that has more devices you
have to use ISAPnPtools, otherwise you would be missing e.g. midi sound.
Thank you,
