Very Computer

Hello All,

I have a Soundblaster 16 PnP sound card.  I would like it to work under
both Win95 and Linux 2.x.x.  I understand that I need to disable the
card's PnP feature and set it manually both in Win95 and Linux.  But I
can't seem to find a utility that will allow me to do this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Joseph

Are you SURE you are using a pnp sound board?

Linux supports PnP-ISA. Read my sig. I use an AWE32-PnP.

: I tried this, but haven't been able to make it work with my pnp.
: I created the devices fine (/dev/audio, etc.) and I get kernel

: as recommended in the (excellent) HOWTO, the "Audio devices:"
: entry is blank.

I'm using an AWE32-PnP. Linux supports PnP-ISA using the isapnptools
package or the PnP4kernel package.

You don't have to do this. Linux supports PnP-ISA. Read my sig.
I use an AWE32-PnP with the isapnptools package.
