I suggest you try a later version of the Comedi drivers from the 
www.comedi.org instead of whatever Advantech supply.  comedi-0.7.70 
should work on your kernel.  The official Comedi drivers do not have a 
pcm3718 kernel module, but the pcl818 module supports the PCM-3718H.

Try:

   modprobe pcl818
   comedi_config /dev/comedi0 pcm3718 0x300

Also check the base address 0x300 matches the switches on the board.
