   Last week I wrote about problems installing my (rather old) SB sound card   
   and my printer in Kubuntu. I had another look at it this week and   
   installing the printer was by far the smaller of the the "problems". The   
   driver is not as good as the one HP supplies for Windows though (no 2,4,   
   or more pages per sheet) but will do.   
      
   The sound card problem took longer to solve, but finally I found out how   
   to solve it. The solution is on this useful page:   
      
      
      
   "Many older devices are not automatically detected by the   
   current 2.6 kernel series. (...) Unfortunately if you have an older sound   
   card, it means you need to roll your sleeves up and poke around to get it   
   running. To do this you need to know which kernel module your card needs   
   and then load the module yourself." (the page contains a list of modules)
