That line should be the only one you need in the kernel configuration file; however, you will need to cd to /dev and type 'sh MAKEDEV snd0'. (This assumes that 'dmesg |grep pcm' reports that pcm0 is your sound device. Change the number as necessary.) I have had few problems with the SB Live and AWE 32, and I've been told that the SB 16 works fine.
