Do you have the /dev/mixer# and /dev/dsp# devices? If not, you can 
install the ALSA source package; there is a script in there (snddevices 
I think) that creates the devices for you.

Other things to try are: unload all modules and then do a 'modprobe 
snd-emu10k1' to see what modules are loaded then

Otherwise you can always try it the hard way, by installing the driver 
source and compiling the driver yourself, following the outline in 
INSTALL. (Which reminds me: the installable package has drivers for the 
2.4.16 kernel; I'm not sure they are compatible with other kernels; you 
should be able to find that out somewhere in the docs).
