Sound Card Detection Problem

Mon Jun 5 00:59:35 UTC 2006

Hi.
We working for non-profit organisation and we rebuild old pc's (PII & PIII) 
and then donate them to children in Uganda. We install Edubuntu for them, 
because this a very good sets of programs for the children, but we got one 
problem. Usually we use second-hand hardware pieces and we have like about 
30 Sound Blaster 16 cards (ISA) and Edubuntu did not detect them. I read 
some instruction How to ..., like 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems?highlight=%28sound%29%7C%28card%29%7C%28detection%29
http://linux.iuplog.com/default.asp?item=94639
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=44753,
but still no luck. I don't know what we did wrong following these 
instructions, but still no sound.

Could anyone give us quite simple instruction how to fix this problem, 
PLEASE!!!!
