Re: sound blaster problem -
drivers are usually part of the kernel. nowdays ALSA is the standard sound
system and on the ALSA homepage you'll find information for the driver (the
link I've posted). you just need to check if you have this module
I use the locate command
locate ca0106 | grep ko
/lib/modules/2.6.28.5eko2/kernel/sound/pci/ca0106
/lib/modules/2.6.28.5eko2/kernel/sound/pci/ca0106/snd-ca0106.ko
/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.19/modules/snd-ca0106.ko
/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.19/pci/ca0106/.snd-ca0106.ko.cmd
/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.19/pci/ca0106/snd-ca0106.ko
so now
sudo modprobe -v snd-ca0106
and report back what happened
read more about linux sound system and drivers and specifically your driver.
thanks for the quick reply - this is what happened :
