First try:
cat /dev/sndstat
(or cat /dev/sndstat | more )
to see if the devices are alive, if they aren't try
lsmod
(to see if sound has been loaded - it has to be a module for AWE cards)
if not loaded do
modprobe -a sound
then repeat the cat /dev/sndstat and the devices should be there and
the sample should play.
