I had the same problem with my SoundBlaster 16 not producing any sound.
So I changed the IRQ to 5 and now it works great!
Instead of recompling the kernel, reboot, and at the boot prompt issue
the command:
boot -c
Which should bring you into configuration mode and you can change any
hardware settings
such as: IRQ'S.
