Hello all,
I'm having a problem setting up the sound on a new 
    machine I've got.
Here is a snipit of "dmesg":
Sound 
    initialization started
<MPU-401 0.0  Midi interface #1> at 
    0x330 irq 5 dma 0
<Yamaha OPL3 FM> at 0x388
Sound initialization 
    complete
Here is my /dev/sndstat file:

I'm running 
    slakware with kernel 2.0.34, on a Gateway Solo 9100 laptop.
According 
    to some information I found from a guy who has set up a gateway
9100 
    machine, I've selected the WSS in the kernel config "sound" 
    section.
I've set the IRQ, DMA and I/O to what windows says the WSS is 
    set to...
Now, I'm not getting any error messages when I boot, but, 
    as you can see, I
don't have an audio device, therefore, when I "cat 
    foo /dev/audio"  nothing
happens.
Anyone have any words 
    of advice, or hints on where else I can look??
Also, if there is any 
    additional information I can include that may be
helpful, please let me 
    know.
Thanks!!!
