Thanks for before reply. Try this command sequence exactly:

sudo su
rmmod ad1848
rmmod sound
rmmod soundcore
modprobe soundcore
modprobe sound
modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330

If you can determine what type of sound card you have, I compiled sound card drivers from alsa-project.org. The package is in the testing area of the DSL repository. Check the alsa website for info on how to activate it.

Thanks JB4x4 for the input
The sound card is ISA plug and play with chipset azt2320.
In Linux there are two driver families or types: ALSA and OSS. The driver for azt2320 does exist either in ALSA or OSS
When boot DSL install by defect and automatically a OSS driver. But using ISA Plug and Play sound cards, Linux can't assign the resources (dma, irq) automatically and the sound driver install fails, no matter if the driver is ALSA or it is OSS. Really this is very frustrating.
The third possibility is use the Sound Blaster driver if the chipset is Sound Blaster compatible. Many people said to have success with Sound Blaster while they was not able to install the specific driver for his sound chipset due this I recommend to drspastic work in this direction.
