Sounds to me like you've got an IRQ conflict.  This is what my sound
drivers have always done whenever I've had an IRQ conflict.  If you
have a printer port and your SB uses IRQ 7, this is possible.  If you
have a network card using IRQ 10 and your SB uses that, this is
possible.  If you have anything (LPT2, bus mouse, network card,
various other things) using IRQ 5, and your SB uses that IRQ, you
might see this problem.  Lastly, if you have the normal serial ports
(COM1 and COM2) and your SB is set to IRQ 3 or 4, you could see this
problem.

Lastly, remember that the IRQ and I/O addresses that you specify in
your kernel config file must match the configuration on your board and
must match the entries in /sys/i386/isa/sound/sound_config.h It won't
automatically update this file for you.

You probably want to look at the board's jumpers, your kernel config
file, /sys/i386/isa/sound/sound_config.h, and the output of the
'dmesg' command to get an idea what is going wrong.

Hope that helps,
Paco
