You need to read two documents :
AWE32
README.awe
in the Documentation/Sound/ folder of the kernel documentation or sources.

Having ISAPnP correctly set up is very important. Nothing will work if it is
not the case. But you don't need to have the same parameters in Windows and
Linux (except maybe if you boot with loadlin).

You need to configure the modules with the right parameters (the io
addresses, irq, dma, etc. you've set up in ISA-PnP).
Use modconf to set up the modules with the right parameters.
(io, irq, dma, dma16, mpu_io for the sb module -- io for the adlib_card
module)
Hope it helps.
Best Regards.
