I had sound working before and it works so easily that I am confused as to
why it is not working now.  I have a simple Sound Blaster card and my
hardware is plug n play.  I think i can use the following kernel options
to get it to work.

#controller     snd0
#device sb0
#device sbxvi0
#device sbmidi0
#device awe0
#device pas0

I have turned on the first two lines and the sound did not work.  I turn
on the rest and it does not work.  It just does not want to work.

What I am now thinking is that I am forgetting this final step in the
build for this device...

cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV snd0

If I do that I am thinking that sound will work once again.  Does that
sound right?  What kernel options should I use exactly for my hardware?

Here is some info from dmesg...

PCI bus
Probing for PnP devices:
CSN 1 Vendor ID: CTL00f0 [0xf0008c0e] Serial 0xffffffff Comp ID: PNPb02f
[0x2fb0d041]

I can provide more hardware info if necessary.
