"sh MAKEDEV snd0" should do it, though those exist by default I believe.

     Someone else posted to the multimedia group recently who was having
similar trouble getting an AWE32 PnP to work.  I'm running a SoundBlaster
32 non-PnP version without any problems.  I think your trouble might be
related to the PnP, so if the card supports it, you might disable that and
hard-wire the card down to DMAs 5 & 1, and IRQ 7 or 5.

     A few other things you might check: 1) Possible IRQ/DMA conflict with
another card (probably not as none of your devices are being detected), and
2) if you're running a PCI motherboard, do you have IRQ5 (or 7), DMA 1, and
DMA 5 reserved for ISA in your BIOS?

In case it might help, here are the relevent lines from my kernel config:

     controller      snd0    
     device sb0      at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr
     device sbxvi0   at isa? drq 5
     device sbmidi0  at isa? port 0x330
     device opl0     at isa? port 0x388 

and here are the relevent boot-up messages:

     sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa
     sb0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.13>
     sbxvi0 at 0x0 drq 5 on isa
     sbxvo0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.13>
     sbmidi0 at 0x330 on isa
      <SoundBlaster MPU-401>
     opl0 at 0x388 on isa
     opl0: <Yamaha OPL-3 FM>
