For what it's worth, I was having problems with a GUS card simply because I set the drq to 1 -- problems cleared up with the drq set to 6, a 16-bit port. It went from an air hammer simulation to making the proper expected noises. The volume can be controlled via a mixer app. The snd-files (mentioned in the i386/isa/sound README file) contain a couple of mixer apps that do seem to work in that regard. You have to get those files from a linux site. I think the overall volume is not set to max. I've been playing with the mike with a sound blaster and managed to get it to read. Mike volume is set to 0, so you have to use the mixer to bring it up. I don't know what the DOS setup program is doing exactly, but it has to assume a certain port #, and then it sets the irq, drq, and a few other things. Presumably this could be done from the UNIX side too. If you don't have dos, you can always make a dos boot floppy... but the gus install may insist you have a C: hard disk.
