Hi. I just bought a Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 (SB0100)
and tried to install it on Linux 2.4.17. It's my second sound
card. The 16 ISA worked but I haven't used it for years.

Dec 25 03:13:38 pervalidus kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 00:0b.0
OK, ALSA worked, while OSS from the kernel didn't. I don't
know why.
I still have a problem. Sound is very distorted with a lot of
noise when I do a 'cat /home/ftp/pub/sound/ra/english.au >
/dev/audio' . Maybe my speakers are broken ? I never used
them before. Time to do more testing. Yes, I know nothing
about sound.
Thank you Matthew. Now if any kernel developer can answer why
OSS from the kernel didn't work...

No problem, but whilst you wait maybe this file will help you, just in case
you haven't found it yet:
http://www.opensound.com/readme/README.SBLive.html
Main page:
http://www.opensound.com
Try the forum too, will know more about sound issues than I currently know.
Merry xmas, don't eat too many Mince pies, or em Mince Pizza with Cokenogg

Same for me. But if you use a real application like plaympeg or
sox hi.au -t ossdsp /dev/dsp it works fine. I'm using emu10k1
