 The ESS1868 sound card is a PnP ESS1688-compatible 16-bit sound card.
 
-Notes about configuring the sound card:
+It should be automatically detected by the Linux Kernel isapnp support when you
+load the sb.o module. Otherwise you should take care of:
 
   *  The ESS1868 does not allow use of a 16-bit DMA, thus DMA 0, 1, 2, and 3
      may only be used.
 
   *  isapnptools version 1.14 does work with ESS1868.  Earlier versions might
      not.
-  
+
   *  Sound support MUST be compiled as MODULES, not statically linked
      into the kernel.
-  
+
+
+NOTE: this is only needed when not using the kernel isapnp support!

 For configuring the sound card's I/O addresses, IRQ and DMA, here is a
 sample copy of the isapnp.conf directives regarding the ESS1868:
