Hi,

I have the same soundcard. The only way i have it working is by installing sndconfig (only works with the 2.4 kernel). Go to a console (root) and do a apt-get install sndconfig. Then you can choose the ad1848 driver and give the parameters. You reboot and open a mixer and put the sound to the max. It's not perfect but it gives you sound.

Hope it will help you.

Was the above modprobe command done as root?

sudo modprobe ad1848 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1

You may first want to run "rmmod soundcore", as root,
to remove any currently loaded drivers.

Then try clivesay's ad1848 command line..as root..

Also , give cbagger01's alsadebs.dsl extension a try..
Read the .info file for instructions on howto use it..
Works when others don't - on more combinations of cards/chipsets.

DSL 2.1 won't even boot here on this HP 4150. It get to the line where it is setting up Soundcard: [MagicMedia 256AV Audio] driver=nm256_audio.

However Knoppix 4.0.2 uses the same driver name and boots up fine.
