Hi,
First of all, try cutting out all the sound entrys that you have in
your kernel config, and just put this in:
device pcm0
and recompile and see what happens
if that doesen't work, try using the pcm0 with the other lines you had (i.e.
instead of snd0)
and then
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV snd0 (yes thats snd not pcm) or whatever the kernel gives your
card e.g. pcm1 = snd1 pcm0 = snd0, etc
Let me know if that doesn't work
Oh, and make sure that your mixer's volume is up :)
