Currently I have a Pentium II 200mhz with a Creative Labs Soundblaster 16 soundcard in it that I run Redhat 7.1 on. Everything works except the soundcard. I've already went to the Creative Labs website and have been unable to find any drivers for itthus far. If I am unable to find any drivers for this particular soundcard I would like know if there is any soundcard out there that works well under redhat 7.1 along with driver support.

There should be drivers built into RedHat for it. Run sndconfig from a command line after you boot up. It will ask you for the IRQ and memory access for the card. Then it should work. Look on redhat.com for more info.

At a command prompt, type "setup" (no quotes.) Arrow down to "sound card configuration." Then tab to "Run tool" and press . Follow the prompts. You should hear a file played that is Linus telling you how to pronounce "Linux" and then a midi file should play. No entering IRQ's or IO addresses. This is all I had to do to get my sound card working in RedHat 7.1 Pro.

HTH,
Eric
