ok i am running red hat 7
i have a sound blaster 16 pci...
in the hardware compat list for red hat 7 it says it is supported...but it when i run sndconfig...it detects an ensoniq card which isnt supported?
when i ran manrake 7.1 it detected the snd card with no problem
is this a known bug?

SB 16 PCI use the Ensonic chip. I believe the driver is es1371. There is no midi support for it that i've heard. Gotta use something like the timidity prog for midi.

I have an Ensoniq 1371 (which I thought was a SoundBlaster at first) and iot works perfectly... donīt know about sndconfig, since I donīt use it but all I had to do to make it work was compile my kernel and compile the module es1371.o along with it... works fine. Oh I also had to edit /etc/modules.conf to tell the kernel which driver to load. Donīt remember the line exactly but should be something like
alias sound-slot-0 es1371
or similar
