This value here is the first IO base that you get in Windows/Resources
window for your sound card. The second IO base value will work for MPU401.

Err...be careful here. IRQ5 seems to be a very desired IRQ, and many
things tend to
grab it. I know on my machine, in Windows, it was conflicting with NIC,
and in Lin. I have my PnP modem on irq5. So, make sure first by
cat /proc/interrupts
that you don't have an IRQ taken already.

Windows tell you the second DMA.

Put the second IO range that you get from Windows here.

But I'm wondering what you put in that kernel of yours....1.6M?
Anyway, like Mark pointed out, just click Y for SB support, and such, as
described up there.
And I hope it's not a PnP card either.
