When I used sndconfig (LM7.1), it added these lines to /etc/conf.modules
    alias sound-slot-0 via82cxxx
    options sb support=1

The PCI probe found ...
    model: VIA Technologies | VT82cxxx
    [Apolo Super AC97/Audio]

However, sndconfig hangs up the server while testing a sound file.
I have to do a hard-boot reboot to get the machine back up. But then
the server locks up upon bootup when it tries to load the sound driver
inside conf.modules  I can hard-boot again and remove the driver to fix it.
I did find /lib/modules/2.2.16-9mdksecure/misc/via82cxxx.o
but how do I use it since sounddrake gives no options for VIA Tech ?

When I used sounddrake, it added these lines to /etc/conf.modules
for generic sound, irq 7 (same thing for 5)...
    alias sound sb
    options sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=0

sounddrake gives: error in modprobe call !
    /lib/modules/2.2.16-9mdksecure/misc/sb.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
    /lib/modules/2.2.16-9mdksecure/misc/sb.o: insmod

    sh: -c: line 1: `/bin/echo
    /lib/modules/2.2.16-9mdksecure/net/(¿&.o'

For SB 16(a or b) sound, irq 7 (same thing for 5)...
    alias sound sb
    options sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=0 dma16=0 mpu_io=0x330
Same error message as above.

Which driver do I use for this sound card ?  What settings ?
Other recommendations ?

Thanks... Dan.
