Hi there! It seems that I finally need help with my soundcard! Could someone help me? It seems that Knoppix does'nt recognize my soundcard, a Yamaha OPL3-Sax. A strange one, isn't it? Well, let's go step by step:
At boot the system shows the next message:
soundcard opl3-sax Sound Board: unknown. driver: ad1848
Then there is no sound, and sndconfig does'nt work: it simply quits after showing a similar message. Why is the soundboard "unknown" if it has been perfectly recognized?
I tried the "alsa" cheatcode, with no result. It seems that there's no specific driver for this card (Project Alsa site).
Changing pnp bios settings doesn't make any change to the problem.

Another useful information: an older Suse 8.0 LiveCD detected (and made work) the soundcard as OPL3-Sax, but the sound driver used was opl3-sa2. Is it possible to "force" a sound driver at boot?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Ah, and excuse me if my grammar is'nt good enough, my english is v.0.9 beta :shock:
