[SWLUG] Ancient sb card under Red Hat 9

[Gareth Watkins]

Peter,

  Sound (& CD-playing) in that PC is working in a Red Hat 7.0 partition 
and a Windows partition, so the hardware is OK. Some change was made from 
Red Hat 8 onwards that stopped the card being recognised correctly. Oh well, 
have to stick to RH7.0...
  Thanks for the advice,
Gareth
