Anyway, I was able to get an AWE64 standard installed - it was automagic. It did crackle a bit when when I would adjust the volume, but it was fine otherwise.
What kind of other hardware do you have?
The board is an Asus P3C-E (from memory) with Pentium III 667 MHz, 128 MB rambus memory. The video card is an ATI expert 98 AGP, SCSI Adaptec AHA-2940UW, 3Com 3C905B and the subject sound card. I see that in Windows XP the sound works fine. In Windows it is using IRQ 5. I see in SuSE the awe module is loaded fine and the sound even works briefly during the KDE startup when it makes the startup sound but usually the sound seems cut short and there is no sound after that. Any suggestions? Damon Register
