Re: Soundblaster 16

[Markus Hansen <markhansen@gmx.de>]

Thank you bob, i said i dont know whether it works as root, but as user it doesnt.
but as the person before you wrote i think it would be possible that this would
be(root sound, user no sound)
but i dont know anyway, also not how to find out.
i tried your lines, but i was unshure what exactly to do.
you know, using the suse linux sound worked, but i use now
debian because my brother told me it is better,
by now i know it is different and more complicated, but i keep trying.
thanks for your help
