I have never heard about your card but it's not compatible with SB16
(there are no SB16 compatible clones). Most propably the card is based
on one of the standard audio chipsets (such as OPTi MAD16). In this
case it should be supported by latest sound driver versions. Could you send
me a list of major (largest) IC chips on the card. It makes it possible
to identify the card and to tell if it's supported.

Best regards,

Hannu
