Kernel (uname -r): 2.4.21-192-default
Distribution: SuSE 9.0



Soundcard installed with no problems when installing SuSE 9.0 using the YaST2 setup utility to configure the system.
The Plug and Play isa card was autodetected and the driver/kernal module snd-sbawe loaded and appears to operate the card without any problems whatsoever. I have not tested the operation of soundfonts under linux.

I actually have the AWE32, but I feel I should make an important point:

The AWE64 is exactly the same hardware as the AWE32. The second set of voices (33-64) were made to work via a software driver. Therefore, an AWE64 in Linux will work as if it were an AWE32. Kind of like Winmodems for sound :(

Card works perfectly with alsa 1.0.9. In order to play midi files, I copied the SYNTHGM.SBK file from the driver cd and ran

asfxload SYNTHGM.SBK

and turned up the synth levels in alsamixer. Also, I had to temporarily disable acpi in order for alsaconf to detect the card.
