I also have the AWE64 and finally got (most) of it to work. sndconfig wasn't much help on my machine either but here's what I did: - Download the latest SB AWE64 driver from http://bahamut.mm.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~iwai/awedrv/ - Read the documentation - It tells almost everything you need to know - Also, There's documentation in ./.../kernel_source_code/Documentation/sound/ - The AWE64 mini-HOWTO is also really useful Some quick steps if you don't want to do a lot of reading... - Get the driver - At the very least, read the INSTALL.awe file. - Install it. Recompile the kernel. (I compile everything as modules) - Go to Windows and copy down all info relevant to the soundcard eg. io, irq's - run 'pnpdump' - Edit the /etc/isapnp.conf file to suit your card. There's a description of how to do this in the AWE64 driver documentation - restart the machine and load the modules with all parameters ie io, irq etc. as described in AWE64 documentation - ...And ...as if by magic ...Your sound card works!!!! On mine, everything except midi works ie I can play .wav and .mp3 files and all but with midi, for some reason, even though the midi file is playing, I don't hear any sound. If you have better results, let me know. See ya ali
