Hi Linux folk,

Have any of you successfully gotten sound to work? (I figure someone
has...)
Supposedly my ctx laptop has a creative sound blaster 16 plug and play
sound card. My old kernel was 2.0.34 - I tried to rebuild it using 2.0.36,
and including sound stuff. I used the linux.org HOWTOs but it was very
angry with me for messing with its guts and wouldn't let me start x
up. complaining about a whole bunch of undefined stuff... Luckily I had
saved my old kernel so the computer is not doomed, it's just mute.
Do I really have to rebuild the kernel? I have Red Hat - does this matter
at all?
Any help would be really appreciated
Thanks!
Naomi
