Maybe you have the same problem as I do. My gentoo system uses devfs. When I load the alsa ens1371 module (modprobe ens1371), the soundcard clicks, but no /dev/dsp ... device entries are created. I have to 'rmmod ens1371' then 'modprobe ens1371' a second time to get it to work. No response from gentooers or the alsa mailing list about this problem. It could even be a devfsd problem.
Is this alsa? If so, try emergeing with USE="oss" :
USE="oss" emerge alsa-driver
