What sound cards are recognized by Centros? I have installed it on an old 400MHz IBM Aptiva that has Crystal Audio built-in. However it does not seem to recognize that, nor a Sound Blaster, nor a Sound Blaster 16 that I have tried.
Any cheapo cards that it would recognize?

IMHO CentOS is build for ENTERPISE SOLUTIONS counting enterprise desktops ...
With Fedora you will have to reinstall new versions too offen, including debuging your custom applications for new bugs in new OS release ;-) .

actually centos is an enterprise server AND workstation solution. I a Centos workstaiton at a non-profit i volunteer for which i use to monitor the windows network there. Centos is far from a server only distro. It is based on RHEL which is for both servers and workstations.

Works just fine as enterprise workstations for myself...Sure CentOS is based of RHEL, but it's not specific only to the server/enterprise niche. I run it on a personal laptop for a workstation and a personal desktop at home for a workstation. Yes, they are both running "server" packages, but CentOS is great for both. I install it many other places as only a server, it does a great job there too. I'll be watching DVD's on my CentOS install after I leave work on my trip. Does this mean I'm using it wrong... you can use it for whatever you want. That is what's great about Linux. ;)

I'll have to do the man thing on isapnp.
If I can pick up a cheap audio card that is known to work with Centros I could likely expense it but I don't want to buy something, have it not work then try and explain that to the penny-pincers...
The Aptiva is just a test box. Eventually I plan on using Centros to upgrade a Fedora Core 1 box that currently acts as our main file and mail server. Do you know if Centros would recognize the AC97 onboard audio in that box?

Why does it seem to be such an odd inquiry? I am trying to set up an Asterisk server on it and the setup recommends using a sound card to assist in the setup. Centros does have sound support does it not? If not they why does it have all the sound controls?
Currently our main servers here are different version of Fedora Core but the lifetime of the distro is too short. I really don't want to have to reload and reconfigure again and again.

are these pci sound blasters? Have you tried running kudzu to detect the hardware after you put into the machine? Have you tried the cards in different slots?

Yup, they are genuine sound blaster and sound blaster 16 ISA cards. I've tried kudzu but it just ends without doing anything. Unfortunately in this particular machine there is only one ISA slot available.

I don't think ISA is supported anymore in RHEL, http://www.redhat.com/archives/nahant-list/2005-March/msg00298.html

That is correct ... there is no ISA support for sound cards on the standard CentOS kernels.
