Probably one of two things:
(1) wrong sound driver or problems with the driver
(2) IRQ or IOPort conflict
If this is an ISA card, it's probably the second. Do you have a
dual-boot with Win9x? If so, what IRQ/io does it report the card being
on? Does this match what Linux thinks? Or maybe it's a jumper-configured
card, in which case, make sure Linux sees the same settings that the
card is actually on. If Linux doesn't match the actual settings, you can
feed the settings to the module when it installs. For example, I have a
file "/etc/modutils/sound" which has the two lines:
options uart401 irq=9 io=0x330
options sb irq=5 io=0x220 dma=1
