Basically, to configure awedrv, say Yes only to “lowlevel sound driver support” and “AWE32 wave synth”. (If you’re using OSS/Free-3.0.x (aka VoxWare), only the latter question will appear.) On AWE32 board, all transfers are done through I/O ports (not DMA), and awedrv probes these I/O ports automatically, so no need to specify any address or IRQ at configuration. Of course, you may want other functions of SoundBlaster like playing and recording digital sound, FM synthesizer, and mixer support. Awedrv is only an enhancement to control Emu8000 synthesizer, and such functions are supported by other SB drivers. So better to keep Yes for all other SB16 options as well.
