-Are you using the IBM Mwave "emulation" of SB ?
-CONFIG_SB_MWAVE
-  The IBM Mwave can do what's loosely describable as emulation of an
-  8bit SoundBlaster card if you load the right firmware from DOS warm

 Generic OPL2/OPL3 FM synthesizer support
-CONFIG_ADLIB
+CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB
   Answer Y if your card has a FM chip made by Yamaha (OPL2/OPL3/OPL4).
   Answering Y is usually a safe and recommended choice, however some
   cards may have software (TSR) FM emulation. Enabling FM support with
   these cards may cause trouble (I don't currently know of any such
   cards, however). If unsure, say Y.
