I've found that when I user Windows95 and then boot to Linux, that /proc/interrupts shows a sound blaster under IRQ5, and that dmesg doesn't turn up any sound errors. Nothing is listed under IRQ5 when I boot directly to Linux, and dmesg shows a sound initialization problem. I have PnP disabled, so I don't know why warm booting makes a difference.
Unfortunately, booting into Linux after W95 doesn't make a big enough difference to make sound work. /dev/sndstat does show an audio device (which it didn't before), but the SB MPU401 line under card config is still in parens, and cat'ing to /dev/audio, /dev/sound, and /dev/dsp, while no longer producing errors, still produce no sound. The file I cat'ed was chimes.wav in my W95 partition, which I presume should make a noise. [This is a Yamaha OPL-3SAx chip.)
