From: Paul Barton-Davis Here is the configuration I use with a Tropez+ and my modular driver: alias char-major-14 wavefront alias synth0 wavefront alias mixer0 cs4232 alias audio0 cs4232 pre-install wavefront modprobe "-k" "cs4232" post-install wavefront modprobe "-k" "opl3" options wavefront io=0x200 irq=9 options cs4232 synthirq=9 synthio=0x200 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 options opl3 io=0x388 Things to note: the wavefront options "io" and "irq" ***MUST*** match the "synthio" and "synthirq" cs4232 options. you can do without the opl3 module if you don't want to use the OPL/[34] synth on the soundcard the opl3 io parameter is conventionally not adjustable. Please see drivers/sound/README.wavefront for more details.
