Perhaps. OTOH, I doubt it.

Read the excerpts. It reads like the other guy is a moron. Try adding in
dma16=5 (or dma2=5 whichever the sb driver uses). That sounds like (one
of) the problem(s).

Besides which, the options should be in the /etc/modules.conf file. And
another thing: I believe the mpu should have an irq option, eg mpu_irq=9
(or mpuirq=9, whichever name the soundblaster uses)

If you use RedHat, then try the sndconfig utility. It doesn't work for me,
but it may work for you.
