Uh, as evidenced by lsmod? I'm not a newbie if that's what you're implying.

I'm not sure which mod the awe needs, but check lsmod |grep snd
Maybe fpaste.org your alsa-info results for others to check
The AWE 64 cards use snd-sbawe module, which can be easily checked on
http://www.alsa-project.org/'s sound card matrix.
I have no idea what you mean by fpaste.org, but alsa-info does seem like
a good idea in this case; however it also unfortunately seems a little
useless since it reveals a great deal of output, but I can't copy and
paste any of it into this post, and the final message upon exiting the
program says:
Your ALSA information is located at
Please inform the person helping you.
So, uh, LOCATED AT big blank? Gee, thanks, stupid diagnostic program.
the sound controls in GNOME only display the Hollywood+ controls, and
nothing is available for the AWE 64.
In gnome-volume-control I see Device entries for eg:
CA0106 alsa
Nvidia nforce2 alsa
mixer oss
playback CA PA
playback NF PA
capture CA PA
capture NF PA
capture-monitor CA PA
capture-monitor NF PA
and I need to change the device to control the appropriate card.
Did you try alsamxixer, and alsaunmute ?
DaveT.
I am aware that you need to change the device to the appropriate card in
the GNOME mixer. The Hollywood+ card is the only option available.
[root@quarlewm ~]# alsamixer

You're help is appreciated.
