Did the sound actually work on the different kernel?
If I recall correctly, as long as the address (0x220) is correct, the
kernel will see the card and the rest of the parameters will be set to
whatever was set when loading the module or compiling the kerenel -
this does NOT mean that 1) the values are correct, or that 2) there
aren't conflicts.
Does this box have Windows installed? If so, it's good for checking
your values against. I don't recall - are there any PnP SB16's? (I
don't think so - but if there were, this could complicate things.)
As for testing, start with something really simple -
cat /etc/termcap > /dev/dsp
This should make a *very* unpleasant noise for several seconds.
If it doesn't, see what error message it gives, and check `dmesg' for
messages. You'll usually see errors in the dmesg when you didn't get
the right IRQ/DMA values.
If it does, then go on to trying mpg123 and whatever.
