Yamaha OPL3-SAx

Hi

Sorry for the last post. I prolly forgot to paste the msg. (-;

 I recently bought a Yamaha OPL3-SAx snd chipset PCI card.
 I compiled my kernel for modular snd support so that sndconfig can be
used
 for configging.
 Even After having followed everything specified in
 /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/OPL3* I'm unable to configure my snd

 card.

 This is what /proc/pci has to say:
 --
 Bus  0, device  14, function  0:
    Multimedia audio controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 16).

    Vendor id=13f6. Device id=111.
    Medium devsel.  IRQ 10.  Master Capable.  Latency=66.  Min Gnt=2.Max

Lat=24.
 --
 I run debian and recently downloaded sndconfig from debian.
 sndconfig in probed mode wasn't any fruits. So I did a sndconfig
--noprobe.

 produces some errors saying
 --
 sound-slot-0: insmod failed
 Device or Resource Busy
 --
 I wasn't trying to run anything (like esd, etc.,) that could occupy the

snd
 card. I also tried:
 --
 [root][~]# cat hello.au > /dev/audio
 insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.15/misc/opl3sa2.o: init_module: Device or
resource
 busyinsmod: Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module
parameters,
 including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
 insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.15/misc/opl3sa2.o: insmod sound-slot-0 failed
 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-0-3
 bash: /dev/audio: No such device
 --

 Then I recompiled the all snd drivers (except beach turtle, M$ snd
system)
 into the kernel. Now when my system boots I can see the following:
 --
 Found OPL3-SAx (YMF719)
 <MPU-401 0.0  Midi interface #1> at 0x330 irq 9 dma 0
 --
 I did a cat /proc/ioports and it produced:
 --
 0330-0331 : mpu401
 0370-0371 : OPL3-SAx
 --
 ...and cat /proc/devices has
 --
  14 sound
 --

 when I do a cat /dev/sndstat:

 But I read in the kernel docs that when a snd card in detected all the
 respective services such as MIDI, ESD, AUDIO etc., are initialised. Why

 isn't this happenning? Am I supposed to change the major, minors of
 /dev/audio, etc.,?

 I found a few solutions at the LI archives and ILUGC archives for
Yamaha PnP
 cards. So I copied them into my isapnp.conf. This too didn't work.

 The documentation that came with my card doesn't mention anything about

PnP.
 pnpdump produces the following:
 # Trying port address 0273
 # Trying port address 027b
 # Trying port address 0283
 # Trying port address 028b
 .
 .
 .
 # Trying port address 03e3
 # Trying port address 03eb
 # Trying port address 03f3
 # No boards found

 Does this mean my YMF719 isn't a PnP based card?

 How do I get my card working?
