Sound card problem

I have recently installed SuSE Linux 6.3. I have a SoundBlaster 16 soundcard and can not get it to work. The salesman at the place where I bought Linux said I had to recompile the kernel. Is there any other way of getting sound?

Go to http://www.opensound.com and download the driver package you need. Extract the files and as root type ./oss-install in the directory you extracted into. Follow the directions on the screen and by the end of the installation you'll have sound.
