hi everyone i just recently got my sb16 card working with the command
modprobe sb
but the problem is if im playing a mp3 no other sounds will play
i have had this problem before under win98 and to fix it i had to install the correct drivers
so any help would be very helpfull

Try installing ALSA. It solved my sound problems.

now the drivers load automaticly but im still stuck with only being able to play 1 sound at a time

Well, ALSA was a long shot. I really doubt that your problem is caused by the sound card or its drivers. It's probably something like a priority setting somewhere else in an application program or the OS, but I don't have any idea where to look. Sorry.
