Re: sound

["Rick" <rick@beerdrinker.org>]

Are you using the 2.2.17 kernel?   2.4 has trickier soundblaster support
than earlier kernels.

I have a sb-16 as well.  It compiled properly, you should just need to
choose OSS support and the appropriate sb option, it's always worked with
the defaults for resources.

I found that I needed to add users to group audio for them to be able to
use sound, though you could also change perms on the proper device.
