Laptops :: sound with YAMAHA OPL3SAx

I've bought an old laptop for $20... because I've already tried Linux Mepis... and appreciate the experience... I decide to find a disto that can run on a P2 @ 233Mhz with 32M RAM.

DSL is just perfect for this. Everything work well...Except the sound

I've tried few things, but I'm not sure what I should do

I loaded the following package -> gnu-utils, dsl-dpkg, alsadeb
but i'm not sure if alsa work correctly, maybe it's not well installed

There is some info. Alsa is not needed.

I've already tried modprobe...but..

sudo modprobe opl3sa2

work bether than

modprobe opl3sa2

:;):

my mistake.....but the error generate by the second commande wasn't very clear

now this laptop have a second life
