I know & imho that's 90% of the problem, we could add file:///usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/* too. There are oss drivers for his old card, but I'm not so sure about there being something suitable in the alsa lineup. I'm pretty sure that the difficulty is that he has not set up the ioports and irq settings correctly - to say nothing of dma channel for the sound card. Particularly the latter. > Frankly another few dollars would buy a PCI sound card.
