Sorry this took so long.
The short answer is no, it only works if the soundcard is built in and
opl3 is modular. This seems to apply mainly to soundblaster.
The long answer is that I've been trying to debug this myself, but I
don't understand what I'm seeing, particularly with respect to module
loadng and initialization. I wanted to present what I've found in hopes
that either someone will tell me what I'm doing wrong or else this will
help someone debug a problem.
I have a PAS16 soundcard. It includes a Soundblaster compatible chip
with it and has an OPL3 synthesizer. I have the following in
/etc/lilo.conf:
append="pas2=0x388,10,3,-1,0x220,5,1,-1 sb=0x220,5,1,-1 opl3=0x388"
If pas2, sb, and opl3 are all built in, the kernel attempts to
initialize the opl3 first. In this case io is -1 when the init_opl3
function is executed, and the fm synthesizer is not detected.
I have the following in modules.conf:
options opl3 io=0x388
options pas2 io=0x388 irq=10 dma=3
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1
If I build everything modular and attempt to modprobe opl3 before
initializing the soundcard, io is 0x388 as it should be, but the
signature it reads from the card is 0xff instead of 0x0 as it should
be. If I modprobe pas2 and modprobe sb, weird things happen. I get the
following on the screen:
[root@wr5z /root]# modprobe sb
/lib/modules/2.4.0-test11-pre4-tm7/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o: init_module: No
such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters

/lib/modules/2.4.0-test11-pre4-tm7/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o: insmod sb
failed
and I get in dmesg:
Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996
sb: dsp reset failed.
If I now try modprobe opl3 it reads the correct signature from the card
and I get the following in dmesg:
