I have read on this forum (http://damnsmalllinux.org/static/act=ST;f=6;t=19879;hl=isa+sound) how it is possible to load isa sound card.

On my notebook I have this settings:
Audio [Enabled ESS1878 sound chip.]
I/O Base Address: [220h]
IRQ Channel: [IRQ5]
1st DMA Channel: [DMA CH1]
2nd DMA Channel: [DMA CH0]
FM I/O Base Address: [388h]
MPU I/O Base Address: [330h]

As root I have find info about sb:
# modinfo sb

After I have write:
# modprobe sb io int 0x220 irq int 5
(without errors)
I have open xmms and now I can play cd...

I have edit:
# nano /opt/bootlocal.sh

and after i have put modprobe:
#!/bin/bash
# put other system startup command here
/sbin/syslogd
loadkeys us
modprobe sb io int 0x220 irq int 5

Now when i start DSL, before log-in, i have:
sb: No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones...
sb: Interrupt test on IRQ7 failed – Portable IRQ conflict

but when i start DSL the sound card work ! How i can close this problem ?

I have change, from bios, irq 5>7 and on /opt/bootlocal.sh i have only:

#!/bin/bash
# put other system startup command here
/sbin/syslogd
loadkeys us
modprobe sb

Now when I start DSL 4.4.3 there isn't "sb: Interrupt test on IRQ7 failed – Portable IRQ conflict " but I can read only "sb: No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones..."

It is right or I need to add sb settings on bootlocal.sh ? The sound card before (irq 5) and now (irq 7) work well !

"sb: no isaPnP" message is harmless - means your sound card is one of the old isa cards.
