I'm getting the feeling that the module just isn't working, because on boot the error is:
Starting Y Sound Server: /dev/dsp: Cannot open for playing. I believe now that the sbc60xxwdt module is wrong, I should be using the "sb" one. The problem is the module won't auto-probe, it dies with an error much like "Device or Resource busy. This could be caused by invalid IO or IRQ settings." I got the same error when the OSS sound modules are installed, or uninstalled. The manual for this no-name machine says "sound blaster" compatable, but I guess it's not all that compatable. Back in 96 when I installed Debian the first time, the Sound Blaster I had was supported. I can't imagine things would have gone backwards, so I fully expect it's that the sound card isn't quite SB compatable enough.

Now far ahead the Road has gone and I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.
