[Bug 47706] Re: snd_nm256 module in dapper broken. Does not include oss sound module nm256_audio

[DoomWarrior]

to place some cookies, for people how have the same problem and found a
workaround!

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=284405

this also works for me on my Omnibook 4500 with Ubuntu 8.04.1:

>1) In the BIOS set soundcard to AUTO
>2) I deleted /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (actually I MOVED it to a safe place just in case)
>2b) I deleted the "blacklist sb" line from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-oss file
>3) I created /etc/modprobe.d/inspiron3500snd
>4) File /etc/modprobe.d/inspiron3500snd is composed of the stanzas posted by Pianoman72:
>Code:
>
>blacklist snd-opl3sa2
>blacklist snd-nm256
>alias snd-card-0 snd-sb8
>options snd-card-0 index=0
>options snd-sb8 irq=5 port=0x220 dma8=1
>install snd-sb8 /sbin/modprobe snd_seq; /sbin/modprobe snd_opl3_synth; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-sb8 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
>remove snd-sb8 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-sb8

>The last 2 lines are rather complex. So it might be a good idea to cut and paste.
>5) VERY IMPORTANT: For me at least, the above solution only works if I manually reload the snd-sb8 module. So I added a line to the /etc/modules file. The stanza that I added is :
>snd-sb8 

I tried several other solutions flying around in the internet (including
cs4232 and siblings) but non of them works. Thanks to Pianoman72 and
Michael Longval my box has finally sound!
