[ltp] Sound on a 770X with Mandrake 9.1

[torontodss]

Still no go.

Is there something I have to do maybe to turn either pnp off or on? Was just
looking at the log and it
said that:

ad1848: No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones.

Also:

modprobe: /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o.gz:
modprobe: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
