Yes, it is set to ALSA and full duplex.

I did that too. After reboot, I can hear noise when I do cat
/dev/urandom > /dev/dsp. But the sound stops working as soon as I login
to KDE! I notice that after I log into KDE, I have to stop alsa, remove
the file from /var/lib/alsa and start alsa again to get sound working
again. At present, sound is working perfectly, but /var/lib/alsa has no
file in it. Does that make any sense?
thanks.
