I just bought a Sound Blaster 16 PCI card and it wont work on my RedHat 9.0
system. I get an error that "/dev/dsp" does not exit. But when I got to
the folder I can see it. Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

Be sure the kernel modules for sound are loaded, should be for you
soundcore and sb. You can list loaded modules with command "lsmod".

Hi Lamar!

Have a look at /etc/modules.conf where settings for your soundcard modules
should be stored. Load all needed kernel modules and you will get sound
using the dsp device.

Use sndconfig to configure your soundcard. The package isn't installed
by default. You'll find it on one of the installation CDs.
