I have an onboard VIA audio "card". After installing Fisher ( which correctly recognized and set it up ) I added a soundblaster 64 PCI card ( ES1370 based ). I run kudzu as root ( I have it disabled in /etc/init.d ). Among other things (*) , it detected the new sound card and run sndconfig. Sndconfig found the VIA AC97 "card" and said that it isn't supported and then exited. It did not configure the SB64PCI. I didn't change anything AFAICT. * - I moved the CDROM drive from hdc to hdd, and added a new HD as hdc.
