curaga,

wow, thanks for the history lesson!  i heard there was something very strange going on with audio device support.  i really wish both groups could work together.  all this forking is going create problems for the builders of distros, and especially the end users like me  :(

Yeah. I haven't checked the /proc files for isapnp, but I think dmesg shows the cards too if they are PnP, which makes life easier for you.

I'll look into those options.  I did notice in the dmesg output that isapnp is built into the kernel.  So it seems that if the ISA sound card is truly PnP, is should dump some useful info to /proc/bus/isapnp
- I had a lot more success (albeit with an irda device) with dsln for this as compared to dsl

ok, we got 3 different compaq models working with the sb module so far.  only one of them is giving a significant issue.  upon loading the sb module, you get a loud screeching sound.  turns out it's feedback from the microphone.  the master volume levels, also available as two buttons, could add to the problem.

is there a way to mute the mic prior or upon loading the sb module?  i've been playing with the umix command but can't seem to get anywhere.  always screeches on reboot.

after this comes the gateway solos.  those seem to load the sb module fine but the freeze the OS when I try to play a sound.
