You might want to try recompiling the kernel with this suggestion from
Brian Thacker which appeared on this list a while ago:
*****************
When you configure the kernel, make sure to include the FM-Synth
(YM3812/OPL-3) support module and in the additional low level sound
drivers, be
sure to include AWE32 synth support and see if that helps.
