Should there be, or only after the > sound module is installed? In /proc You really see nothing, if the driver is not loaded. Same with other modules here, e.g. those loaded by kerneld.

These come with the win95 drivers of the card. But since You have no Win95, they aren't installed. Have a look at the AWE drivers web site: http://bahamut.mm.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~iwai/awedrv/ You'll find the sources for sfxload there and some links to sound banks, i hope. Another fine site for linux sound is: http://www.bright.net/~dlphilp/linux_soundapps.html There are many links to sound apps for Linux. > Where can I find these necessary files? > > Any idea why an RPM hasn't been created for the SBAWE64 yet?
