I had a similar problem a couple of days ago. Is the module snd_pcsp getting
loaded? If so, it's possible it may be grabbing your sound card before your
real driver has a chance to do so. The fix that worked for me was just to
blacklist it. I believe there's also a way to make it load after the correct
sound modules (if you like the audible bell), which some judicious googling
should turn up.

Good luck getting that fixed!

20. Despite its proven stress-relieving effect, I will not indulge in maniacal
    laughter. When so occupied, it's too easy to miss unexpected developments
    that a more attentive individual could adjust to accordingly.
