A friend had the exact same problem with his genuine sound blaster 16 ISA card
on his machine in Ubuntu Linux 5.04 ("Hoary Hedgehog" edition). Even though
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base has a line with "modprobe snd-sb16" in it, for some
reason that fails to activate sound on his system during the boot process, but
typing exactly that in a root terminal after his system is loaded into the GUI
gets sound working.
