I have been unable to get my soundcard in my Toshiba Satellite 4020CDT working with Knoppix v 3.3 (Nov 19 ed).

I tired the following at boot:

fb1024x768 lang=us dma screen=1024x768 alsa=opl3sa2

But Knoppix could NOT find the opl3sa2 module. (I also tried alsa=opl3sa and just alsa alone for autoconfig. I also tried pci=biosirq. None of these kernel options work. ).

Apparently, the snd-opl3sa2 module for ALSA does exist. The web site refers to it. If you go to Linux on Laptops website and check out user posts on the 4020CDT laptop, others have been able to get ALSA working with the opl3sa2 module using other Linux distributions.

Perhaps the opl3sa2 ALSA module is missing in Knoppix?

Oh yes, I tried running sndconfig but it fails with a "segmentation" fault message.

Any ideas?

Is there a way I can compile the opl3sa2 module using Knoppix and install it at boot up using a floppy?
