Gain 100karma points! :) I am also pure in this regard ;), so I've had to
figure out getting these settings without DOS:
You want isapnptools (section base) (and possibly pciutils (section
admin)). As root, run
pnpdump -c >> foo
look at foo; this should contain all the settings you want. If it is a PCI
card and the above doesn't work, then try
lspci -vv >>bar
In either case, having set up the kernel OK, you'll want to move foo to
/etc/isapnp.conf; this will run the script you created earlier at boot-up
(and initialise the card to those settings).
It's also worth looking at Documentation/sound in your linux source tree,
and using the latest kernel (2.2.1)
HTH,
Matthew
p.s a few notes on recompiling your kernel. I prefer menuconfig to xconfig
(YYMV though). Either way, go through all the options systematically, and
read the relevant help screens; generally try not to include too much, and
consider having things as modules (I particularly recommend sound in this
regard)....
