RE: [Sheflug] Re: sound cards for Red Hat Linux 6.2?

I've had no probs with RH and GENUINE SB-compatibles. My own noise adapter 
is a 6-quid Crystal-based ISA card which (if memory serves me right) was 
detected by soundconf on the one occasion I inflicted RH on my machine. 
Does your mobo complain about ISA soundcards or have you only tried PCI?
