I've installed 2.1 and I'm having problems getting audio through the
Soundblaster AWE 32...

kernel mods...

# added device support for SoundBlaster audio
controller      snd0
device          sb0     at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr
options         SBC_IRQ=5
device          sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330

Then "sh MAKEDEV snd0"

at bootup, the soundcard appears to be probed.

sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa
sb0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.12>
sbmidi0 not found at 0x330

Any suggestions as to the midi device not being found or any
applications (xcd, etc) not using the sound card?

thanks
