I assume the BIOS setups only the sb part of the sound card. The
initilisation of the MIDI sythesizer is left to the DOS drivers
(ctpnp, diagnose, aweutil) or to ISAPNP.

No, I have 2.0.30 with the awedrv 0.3.99c installed and everything
(including MIDI) workes fine.

Check if something like NAS (network audio system) is started. This
is a demon that blocks /dev/dsp (and all the other) and gives network
wide access to your soundcard. Just check if there is a
/etc/init.d/nas file, if so try
/etc/init.d/nas stop
and try access /dev/audio after this.
