It's a Soundblaster AWE32PnP (damn the evil thing!), and I discovered that it will emulate the Roland MPU-401 or the SoundBlaster 16. I can get the kernel to recognize the card, but, for some reason, I cannot make the node snd0 required to address the card. I keep getting the error "SoundCard Error: The sound card system has not been configured." whenever I try to access the card. Any ideas about what I can do to fix the problem? Your help is greatly appreciated. -- Christoff Snijders hjcs@portal.ca
