I thought I had it figured out about the time this post showed up. I had to move the forced NIC IRQ from 5 to 3, disable the #2 serial port, and set IRQ 5 to legacy. Apparently this sound card and Linux just won't play nice together if the sound card can't have IRQ 5, regardless of what setting you try to give it in modules.conf. Once running, I decided to actually try to do things. I logged in & started Mozilla Messenger. Then I opened Konquerer, found a big MP3 to play on an HPFS partition, and clicked. Media player worked. Found mixer and turned the volume up. OK so far. Then I asked Mozilla to download mail. Not so good. Significant sound cutouts while Mozilla busy. Found your message. Hit reply. Hard lock. Reset button time. Next I tried changing io=0x530 to io=0x534 to match one of the OS/2 allocations. Repeat the app open steps above, except tried opening Messenger after starting the music, and got the hard lock immediately. Don't know what to try next. ISA.
