Maybe need to enable experimental drivers? Ahh, just looking and was
thinking of "Crystal Soundfusion (CS4280/CS461x)". It came up in my
head because there's some connection with the CS4611 PCI audio
accelerator (which I have, but doesn't work with that driver).

No you don't want generic WSS (only 8-bit I think).

PNP shouldn't be required (though I've done it with both with no
difference -- 'cept some isapnp settings will make the sound worse

Maybe consider forking over a couple bucks for a couple SB LIVE
soundcards? I understand they're dirt cheap and work well for what they
do. I don't understand why your machine would get stuck. Do you have
your BIOS set to "PNP OS"? If so, turn it off. Think I've told you
'bout all I could think of.
