Very Computer

Does Linux support Soundblaster 16 Plug and Play?  E.g. will it work
with the current non-plug and play soundblaster drivers?

Thanks much for letting me know.

I also have a sound blaster 16 plug and play...I got my kernel
configured and have sound support in as a module...but when I
try to play something, it says there is no such device.  So I
would like to take this opportunity to try to get some help of
my own (and hopefully help out Sujat at the same time).

I boot into win95 (bleck) and it works OK with the same settings
I have under linux...I've done MAKEDEV audio with the sound driver
loaded but still nothing works...if anybody has any suggestions, I
would appreciate the help.

btw, here is what happens when I cat /dev/sndstat:

Please visit http://www.4front-tech.com/linux.html to download OSS/Linux
which supports PnP SB-16 (no additional PnP tools or DOS initialization
are required).
