From the info you have just provided, this is what I would try -

For MSS/WSS mode -
modprobe ad1848 io=0x290 irq=11 dma=5 (isapnp=0 ??)
or
modprobe mad16 io=0x290 irq=11 dma=5

For SB emulation mode -
modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 (isapnp=0 ??)

In the linux kernel source, there's a good document - /Documentation/sound/README.OSS which mentions that older jumperless sound cards may need to be initialised by the (DOS/Windows) driver before they will work.  Quoting from the section "What if your card was not listed above?" -
"...there is a chance to get the card to work by booting DOS before starting Linux (boot DOS,hit ctrl-alt-del and boot Linux without hard resetting the machine).  In this method the DOS based driver initializes the hardware to use known I/O, IRQ and DMA settings.  If sound driver is configured to use the same settings, everything should work OK."

Also, the Linux utility - "isapnptools" might do the same thing.(?)

It's all sounding difficult.
