[alsa-devel] Can someone verify support for "AzTech Sound Galaxy Nova 16 Extra II-3D - using AZT-2316/R Chipset - FCC-ID:I38-MMSN846" ?

EPPROM ON:

OK, I formated that dos partition and simply sys a: c:,
then I installed the driver (copying them to the partition from the linux
install),
in theinstall I selected the defaults settings (220 irq5 dma1...) and
rebooted,
now in dos again I used diagnose to test the audio and hwset /mr /ms to
reset and save the epprom.

now I rebooted and loged to linux:

sudo modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1
FATAL: Error inserting snd_sb8
(/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb8.ko): No such
device

dmesg last lines (
[  319.827327] Sound Blaster soundcard not found or device busy

-reboot-

EPPROM OFF (SOFTWARE ON):

in dos: diagnose works,
reboot and back to lin: sudo modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1

no error, no mention in dmesg, but xmms gives the usual error...

Heres lsmod just for kicks:

So now atleast we know its not the jumpers ;-)
Is their the slight chance xmms is the problem ? gxine crushs too...
Is their something like "beep" only for the sound card ?
Maybe droping some data to /dev/### to produce a beep ?
