Yes, that is; i have an old Sound Blaster 16 ISA card, non PnP and am
trying to get sound from it by means of Alsa. Linux Kernel is 2.6
I run alsaconf and the card is found, detected as sb16, then configured,
and levels adjusted (you may see a terminal window capture of this,
below asterisks line).
Lsmod shows the corresponding modules loaded, ok. But, the problem is,
when I reboot after that, nothing happens. Boot window says \\\"Setting up
ALSA...done (none loaded)\\\".
I read somewhere that for ALSA to find the card, I have to tell ALSA
explicitly which parameters this card use, so I tried two variants
adding the sound card parameters, none worked. Please see below asterisks line for details.
Am I condemned to run alsaconf any time I boot my Linux system??, hope
not. Any advice is welcome.
TIA
Guillermo.

Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: (none loaded).
Building card database...
Probing legacy cards.. This may take a few minutes..
Probing: sb16 : FOUND!!
Running update-modules...
Loading driver...

===============================================================================
Now ALSA is ready to use.
For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.
Have a lot of fun!
