Nope, just beeps from the keyboard, etc. which I assume go through the
standard speaker. How would I go about playing back some other sound.
The thing does work under Windows 98.

Actually, I have one of each.
# Sound configuration script.
# Time-stamp: <2001-07-26 13:03:30 root rc.sound>
modprobe snd-card-opl3sa2 snd_port=0x220 snd_wss_port=0x530 snd_midi_port=-1
snd_fm_port=0x388 snd_irq=5 snd_dma1=0 snd_dma2=1
# snd_dma1_size=NN
# snd_dma2_size=NN
I swiped the modprobe line straight out of the mini-howto for ALSA,
and verified that it agrees with what I found under Windows. I have no
idea where to locate the values for two DMA size parameters, so I
commented them out.
With that correction, it now does this:
[root@tecla rc.d]# ./rc.sound
/lib/modules/2.4.2-2/misc/snd-card-opl3sa2.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO
or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.2-2/misc/snd-card-opl3sa2.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.2-2/misc/snd-card-opl3sa2.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.2-2/misc/snd-card-opl3sa2.o: insmod snd-card-opl3sa2 failed
[root@tecla rc.d]#
