I'm sorry. Here it is again in plain text
I'm running Sarge with an old Ensoniq Sounscape Elite ISA card. I read a lot during the past few month to get this card working but everything I tried didn't work so far. It's a pretty old card and all the information I could find was outdated. One thing I know is that I had sound with this card on Redhat (can't remember the version but it was in 1998!). The card is not discovered by the system because I got nothing when I try the isapnp tool. I know the dma, irq, etc. but it didn't work when I entered them as options in the alsa file in /etc/modutil/alsa (I did an "update-modules" after). When I start alsa (/etc/init.d/alsa start), I got this message:"Starting ALSA.../etc/init.d/alsa: Error: alsactl restore failed with message 'alsactl: load_state:1134: No soundcards found...'".
Here is a part of the lsmod
snd_sscape 17184 0
snd_cs4231_lib 28128 1 snd_sscape
snd_pcm 98440 1 snd_cs4231_lib
snd_timer 25924 2 snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc 10120 3 snd_sscape,snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm
snd_hwdep 9668 1 snd_sscape
snd_mpu401_uart 8128 1 snd_sscape
snd_rawmidi 25224 1 snd_mpu401_uart
snd_seq_device 9004 1 snd_rawmidi
snd 57828 8 snd_sscape,snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_hwdep,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device
soundcore 10336 1 snd
Also, after doing a lot of things, I heard some scrachy sounds but this was a few weeks ago.
I don't know if my webcam's microphone interfere with the sound card.
I was thinking about getting a newer card but I want to give a try with this one before doing so.
Thanks in advance.

Install the alsa-utils package, then use alsaconf to configure your sound.
