You probably have a waveblaster extension mounted to i/o 330 using the
MPU 401 interface. The SB 32 has a build-in (non MPU 401 compatible)
Emu8000 waveblaster that need to be initialized to work correctly.
I tried pnp extension for the kernel too and the whole sound card
stoped working. Now I have the normal kernel with the awe patches
installed and use isapnp to initialize all devices on the sound card.
BTW: The normal SB 16 compatible sound works without any special
initilization, only the midi part needs extra handling to work
correctly.
