I used to use mandrake on my thinkpad 600, but have now installed Damnsmall. Unfortunately, the sound is quite difficult to get working. I found some help hough on the internet (http://www.levien.com/tp600.html) which says to put:

alias sound cs4232
alias midi opl3
options opl3 io=0x388
options cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=5 synthirq=-1 synthio=-1

in /etc/conf.modules

then run

/sbin/rmmod cs4232
/sbin/modprobe sound

as root.

Can anyone tell me what the equivalent would be on damnsmall. Any help would be appreciated hugely!

Try running this line:

/sbin/modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 mpu_io=0x388

It's what gets sound working on my 760el. I also put it in my ~/.initrc so it would work on boot.
