I recently switched to a motherboard with an integrated Yamaha OPL3-@#! chipset,
took me a week to figure out how to set it up. If you have the kernel-sources
installed, cd to /usr/src/linuc/Documentation/sound and there will be a file (or
a couple) that tell exactly how to setup the card. Also, run 'cat /proc/sound'
and it will tell you what resources I detected for the sound subsystem. If it's
a PNP card this will really help:
mv /etc/isapnp.conv /etc/isapnp.conf.bak
pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf
then edit /etc/isapnp.conf and uncomment the lines which correctly identify the
resources which your sound card uses. If you're using kernel 2.2.x and have the
TB drivers compiled as modules, make certain you'ved upgraded your mod-utils
package so that kerneld actually loads modules for you (rather than leave it up
to you to load ALL modules that you might need).
Ugh, I hope you can decipher some of what I've just said, and like Chris
mentioned, make certain you're doing this all as root.
