2.1.88 and Sound

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting my SB8 v2.1 working under kernels 2.1.77-2.1.88
(2.1.77 was the first devel kernel I used). I can play wav files ok, but
quake won't play any sound but the cd (through the cdrom's headphone jack,
SB8's don't have cd-in). 2.0.33 works fine. I have tried monolithic and
modular kernels, both recognize my card and load fine. Doom doesn't play
any sound either, but it does generate a lot of static on my speakers.
(no-hlt didn't make any difference). Both doom and quake make a 'click'
sound on my speakers when they load and again when they unload. Any help
would be appreciated!

Note: I tried monolithic kernels with and without the SoftOSS Wave thing.

Here is my /dev/sndstat from monolithic 2.1.88:
