I had the same laptop until recently and had sarge running on it. Configuring the sound gave me a couple more grey hairs as well. Since I was quite the newbie when it comes to configuring that stuff it might be fairly dirty but it worked for me.
Some webpage indicated that the chip used on the Omnibook 4150 wasn't actually the neomagic one but the AD1848 ... In the file /etc/modules I added the line ad1848 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 ------------------ /etc/modutils/alsa-base : # snd module options options snd device_mode=0660 # autoloader aliases alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 ad1848 above sound-slot-0 snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss #alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss #alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss #alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss #alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss # Load optional modules above their base modules above snd-pcm snd-pcm-oss above snd-mixer snd-mixer-oss above snd-seq snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi # Cause a script to be run after card driver module initialization post-install snd-ad1848 /lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install snd-ad1848 -------------------- and I modified /etc/discover.d/alsa-base to skip all other cards (including the nm256_audio !) I guess that should be it. Not sure if I did anything else of consequence to sound since I played around quite a bit.
