The "Creative" in the company name "Creative Labs" seems to refer mostly

to their way of naming products, though "Confusing" would be more

accurate. Anyway, the card known to ALSA as a SoundBlaster AWE (sbawe)

is an ISA card, so if, as you say, the card you have is not an ISA

card, it is not a "sbawe". If you have a pci sound card that is a real

soundblaster and not some other kind that claims to be compatible, it

is probably an emu10k1, ens1371, or ens1370.
