Is this by any chance the 'SoundPro' sound system (CMI8330)?

If it is, you'll find that it will be detected either as an SB16 or
WSS card but neither will work reliably under Linux (under 2.0 it
sometimes crashes (1 time in 3ish) when /dev/dsp is closed, under 2.1
it will lock the machine hard about half a second into the sound).
See my post last week on this topic. I am perfectly willing to
experiment with patches if other people can supply them but I don't
really know where to start in fixing the problem myself.

The settings (certainly on my system) are the standard io=0x220 irq=5
dma=1 dma16=5 for the sb16, or io=0x530 irq=11 dma=0 for the WSS.
