This sounds like the same problem I had setting up my Acer sound card --
the I/O addresses in Windows did not match any of the choices in
sndconfig. I am on the way to a solution with the driver from Open
Sound Systems: http://www.opensound.com/lynxos.html
Their driver can be downloaded for trial. It did get my sound card
working (with Timidity, I can play MIDI files, with oss/play I can play
WAVE files, and the KDE CD Player works). I have not gotten UMP or
RealPlayer to work with Netscape yet. It is a pain, but at least I can
download MIDI or WAVE files and play them.
For the trial, you can only use it for 20 minute sessions. You have to
turn the sound on, then off. You can then turn the sound back on for
another 20 minutes. If the driver works for you, to make it permanent,
you have to pay $20 US to OSS. At least that is less expensive than
buying a new card.
Good luck.
