Does your kernel log offer more clues?
I had similar error messages with my sound card, and found out what the
problem was on a standard log check using the dmesg command

good luck---not sure this helps much but I thought that I'd mention it.

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.

 I had something like this when upgrading from 5.0.to 5.2, due to the
joystick driver hitting (in this case) the network card. The error was a
bit erratic, and didn't always do the same things, in fact it changed on
a power cycle.

 I'd suggest you try two things. If the module you are using has a
joystick option, try joystick=0 as a parameter, and secondly, make sure
you haven't got anything at IO port 0x200, which is the normal joystick
port.

NOTE: You can't have sound support in the kernel, it has to be a module
and you can ony load it after running isapnp or some utility to setup the
PNP AWE32.
