I was just playing around with the sound on my machine and finally got
it working. I have the same card, but I couldn't tell you what I
actually did. Do you have Gnome? If so, run the audio mixer and turn
up the volumes. You may also have to turn down the volume in Windows.
Apparently that was the main problem because I had the soundFX but
couldn't here a CD play. After changing the levels I can play CD's now
too (with GnomeCD - I still have to work on x11amp).
Anyways, I've attached the various files that may help.

Did you make the modules for 2.2.9? After doing make zImage you should do:
make modules
make modules_istall
Make sure you have loopback device installed as a module or built into the
kernel.
