Takashi (and All), thanks for you help but I still cant get it to work...
I downloaded the latest RC7 and built with --with-debug=detect
on the configure line.
./utils/alsaconf finds the OPL3SA2 but the module still wont load.
One of the messages ends with detect=0xFF or the like I'm sorry,
I forgot the exact line.
How do i tell the pnp Id ? pnpdump has a line with YMH0800/-1 in it
and there are lots of YMH0020 and YMH0021's floating around but as
I'm a bit of a newbie I'm not quite sure where to look !
Thanks again to all for your help.
Is there anything else I can do ?
Chris.

Hi All;
I've been trying for a couple of days now to get
any sound from my laptop (rebadged Asus L7000,
Slackware 8.1, vanilla 2.4.20) and seem to be
getting nowhere fast.
I've tried OSS/Free and Alsa (0.9.0rc2 and 0.5.12a)
and can't seem to get anything working.
OSS just hangs as I modprobe the module, no log entries
or anything I can find.
isapnp.conf contains all the settings that Windows
is using and everytime I try to get it running with
modprobe snd-opl3sa2 (or snd-card-opl3sa2)
I get
"Yamaha OPL3-SA Soundcard not found or device busy"
build the alsa driver once with --with-debug=detect.
it will show you more verbose kernel messages.
also, check whether your pnp id matches with one of
YMH0020:YMH0021, YMH0030:YMH0021, YMH0800:YMH0021, NMX2200:NMX2210
where the ids are card:device.
