Hi.

In most cases, if you have sound support compiled directly into the
kernel, you can pass the parameters to the card at the LILO prompt. 

You can also give isapnptools a shot. Use pnpdump > pnp.conf, uncomment
the lines that match your hardware settings, and run isapnp on the conf. 

My laptop uses OPL3SAx too. Lots do. I have mine set up using modules. Is
there a specific reason why you can't?
