Step 1 : figure out what your sound card is (I'll use an ESS1869
because that's what was
in my only box with
sound)
Step 2 : figure out what resources it should use (ie DMA) This is
one of the few areas where Windows can be helpful
Step 3 : configure the correct modules. Here is an example from my
previous box. Note that I originally had the wrong DMA
channel, and sound was slow and horridly screwed up. When I
finally got around to debugging the problem it was as simple
as using a different DMA channel.
I have the following in /etc/modutils/my-custom (a text file
I created). Run update-modules as root after editing your
config.

# Sound modules dependencies:
# sound : soundlow , soundcore
# sb : uart401
# uart401 : sound
# opl3 : sound
#
# dependencies are listed in by depmod /lib/modules/<kernel version>/modules.dep
# dependencies are loaded automagically by modprobe

alias sound sb
alias midi opl3

# sound card options (works!!)

options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 mpu_io=0x330
# Midi
options opl3 io=0x388
# after loading the sound (sb) module, load the midi (opl3) module
#post-install sound /sbin/insmod opl3
