Simon,
Have you loaded all of these modules (they're essential).
soundcore
soundlow
sound
opl3
mpu401
ad1848
opl3sa2
I have a Yahama ISA card and I have to load all these modules in order to
get it to work. Usually sndconfig loads the correct ones but you might
want to check to make sure. Also, sndconfig can't work unless these are
modules, i.e. you can't compile them directly into the kernel and then set
up your soundcard using sndconfig. Hope this helps.

Choose usefulness. Choose Linux.
