What pnpdump is showing you is all the copnfigurations that a
device will except. For every device, there is at least one
config shown. So you uncomment all the lisp-like lines in *one
configuration* and see if that works. If you are dual-booting
Windows, you can get the config data (IRQ/DMA/etc) of the card
from Windows, and use that config in isapnp. If you aren't
dual-booting then try the first config for the sound card, as the
first one is 'preferred' by the card.
Also check your BIOS. Recent BIOSes can configure PnP devices at
boot up, meaning you could let the BIOS do the configuration and
not need isapnp at all.
