Normally this is the result of a misconfigured device.
I.E. the device is not utilizing the resources the modules are trying to
initialize it for.
Your best bet is to remove all the sound modules from memory...
I.E.
"lsmod"
awe_wave 170956 0
sb 36884 0
uart401 6480 0 [sb]
sound 64184 0 [awe_wave sb uart401]
soundlow 300 0 [sound]
soundcore 3524 7 [sb sound]
Then "rmmod" each one until they are all gone. Note you'll have to modify
the order...
Finally try running soundcfg again from the console.
