Hey! Did you see what David Erdman wrote on May 8 ?

        I have a awe 32 but I think it should be fairly similar.

DE> alias sound sb
DE> pre-install sound insmod sound dmabuf=1
DE> options opl3 io=0x388
DE> alias midi awe_wave
DE> options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330

        The relevant parts of my conf.modules are...

alias sound sb
alias synth0 awe_wave
post-install awe_wave /usr/local/bin/sfxload /usr/sfbank/synthgm.sf2
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330

        I also run "/sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf" from /etc/rc.d/rc.S 
(just after depmod -a) to initialize the sound card.  I don't need to load
the sound modules manually by hand or by a script because kmod loads them
whenever I need them (and rmmod -a run from root's cron removes them when
they're not needed).

        Have a read of /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/AWE32 it'll tell
you how to set your card up.  In that doc it says to use "alias midi
awe_wave" I found that it was better to use "alias synth0 awe_wave",
although they both worked for me only the synth0 would auto-load with
kmod.
