OPTi 82C933 Sound Card In Linux !

I have a very cheap sound card which using OPTi 933 chip
It shows very good performance in Windows!
but like many Non-SB card, there are problems in linux.

OPTi 933 chip is similar to OPTi 931 I think.
If you use kernel 2.0.36 or later (including 2.2.0) and
your kernel have a modular sound kernel, You can hear the sound.
You can play MP3 and AU,Wav, Midis ! These are the useful link for your needs Drees's OPTi931 Mini How-to using OPTi931in Linux Page Isa PNP tools page Joshua Yelon's OPTi931 Page OPTi931 setting page DejaNew search engine (Go and Search for!) And These are the My linux set! /etc/isapnp.conf /etc/conf.modules with these settings, I don't need any other tools .
Don't use RedHat's sndconfig !
Just follow this manual.
After install the 'ISAPNP toils' package, run the program pnpdump
to get all the Isa PnP device information,
and edited the output (which was piped to a file like /etc/isapnp.conf)
to suit the needs of my system.
The trick with the 82C931 is that it's Card Selection Number (CSN)
needs to be unallocated before any further configuration takes place.
This is accomplished by placing this line at the end of your isapnp.conf file:

(CSN n (LD 0 (REG 2 (POKE 4))))

where n is the card's CSN, given in the output from pnpdump.
After setting these term, check your /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit (for RedHat Linux).
for isapnp initialize script row is exist.

and then, make your /etc/modules.conf like mine.

and reboot your computer.
check your boot message with 'dmesg'.
If any error message exist or sound card was not set,
check the 'ad1848_mixer_reroute' file exist.
If this file is not exist in your computer
compile the ad1848_mixer_reroute.c
gcc -o ad1848_mixer_reroute ad1848_mixer_reroute.c
then start sound service again.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/start sound
