Chris,
The order in which you select the modules is important.
You also have not sent the correct 16-bit DMA to the module .... it should match the
relevant setting in isapnp.conf.
I'd imagine it's on irq 5, io 220, dma's 1 and 5.
In modconf, select (in this order - you may have to go through and unload any that
are loaded first) -
1. sound <- possibly pass parameter dmabuf=1 - if you have a decent amount of RAM -
gives persistent DMA buffers
2. sb <- with parameter line -> io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 (or replace
with your own settings)
3. soundlow
4. awe_wave
5. opl3 <- with parameter line -> io=0x388
Mail me back if you're still haviong problems - might be isapnp related.
Jonathan
