google is your friend ... http://www.google.ca/search?q=vibra+16+linux+driver&ie=ISO-8859- 1&hl=en&meta= lists as the first item the information you want - to whit, that the vibra 16 is a soundblaster 16 workalike. I suspect there is still a utility called sndconfig that will let you hear Linus Torvalds' scratchy voice say "My name is Linus Torvalds, and I pronounce linux 'lihn-ux'" cheers, and good luck
