Hello! I think it isn't really a problem which has something to do with your alsa config, but I think that the module for awe32 simply doesn't detect the i/o port of your awe unit, for example because your isapnp conf has been messed up. I suggest to you looking at your isapnp.conf and the module parameters at modconf first, and if this doesn't help setting up alsa because it took a while for me to setup my alsa properly. Or, if you haven't compiled your awe driver as a module, I'd try this. If you cannot find any error in your current configuration and want to give alsa a try, you can send me a mail and I'll do my best to give you a description of how to set up alsa (don't know it exactly at the moment- I'll have to take a look at my machine ;)).
