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.
