Hi Matt,

did you read my Soundblaster-AWE mini Howto? Please check my homepage below
for a copy of it.

The parentheses means this is inactive. Did you configure your kernel
correctly? Especially the midi port, 330 is the default value. If you do
"cat /proc/ioports", do you see the following or a similar line?

0330-0331 : Sound Blaster 16 - MPU-401

Interrupt 1 is definitely wrong. This is how to configure the kernel:
CONFIG_SOUND=y
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=y
CONFIG_SOUND_SB=y
CONFIG_SB_BASE=220
CONFIG_SB_IRQ=5
CONFIG_SB_DMA=1
CONFIG_SB_DMA2=5
**************************  This means the MPU does not need an IRQ, but
* CONFIG_SB_MPU_BASE=330 *  an ioport, and this is usually 330.
* CONFIG_SB_MPU_IRQ=-1   *
**************************
CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB=y
CONFIG_SOUND_YM3812=y
