I don't think that you should be using devfs, in fact, if i were you I'd
just remove that deprecated stuff from my kernel.
Now, did you try running "alsaconf" and rebooting (again)? udev should
create all necessary snd devices in /dev/. After that, make sure you run
"alsamixer" in the console and remove the Mute from whatever has Mute in
them....
Just a thought... hope that helps. It has happened to me in various
boxes and they all work correctly after following that same trend of
actions.
