insmod sound
insmod uart401
insmod sb ...

This loads the driver for the soundblaster and assorted clones. Cards that
are covered by other drivers should not be using this driver.

The soundblaster module takes the following arguments

io		I/O address of the soundblaster chip
irq		IRQ of the soundblaster chip
dma     	8bit DMA channel for the soundblaster
dma16   	16bit DMA channel for SB16 and equivalent cards
mpu_io		I/O for MPU chip if present

mad16=1 	Set when loading this as part of the MAD16 setup only
trix=1  	Set when loading this as part of the Audiotrix setup only
pas2=1		Set when loading this as part of the Pas2 setup only
sm_games=1	Set if you have a Logitech soundman games
acer=1		Set this to detect cards in some ACER notebooks
mwave_bug=1	Set if you are trying to use this driver with mwave (see on)

You may well want to load the opl3 driver for synth music on most SB and
clone SB devices

insmod opl3 io=0x388

Using Mwave

To make this driver work with Mwave you must set mwave_bug. You also need
to warmboot from DOS/Windows with the required firmware loaded under this
OS. IBM are being difficult about documenting how to load this firmware.

Avance Logic ALS007

This card isn't currently supported. I have patches to merge however that
add limited support.
