Hi Cheryl. I know the kernel 2.4.18 drivers support the sblive card natively. I don't know about the alsa drivers. They probably do, but just check the list of supported sound cards at www.alsa-project.org to make sure. What you could try doing if you want a backup is recompiling the sb16 driver into the kernel as a module, that way you can just switch modules by doing rmmod on the sb16 driver then doing modprobe or insmod on the sblive module. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: Cheryl Homiak <chomiak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: speakup <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 8:50 AM Subject: Sound card question > Hi all! > I am getting a sblive sound card today, but I am a bit nervous about it working, > probably just because I've had the old sb16 for so long. > 1.
