I load the modules in a specific order.  Perhaps you have the wrong order?
insmod soundcore
insmod soundlow
insmod sound
insmod uart401
insmod sb (with io, irq, dma, and dma16 specified)

(The sb is only for soundblaster cards. For other cards you will need 
other modules.)

You can use the SW7.1 (2.2.16) bare.i kernel for this, it supports sound.
If that is too large for you, you can use 
http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/zimage.sb
which I compiled for soundblaster 16 cards.
Use the SW71 modules (2.2.16).

The 2.2.16 kernels for BL do NOT support sound.

Steven's 2.2.26 kernel 
was compiled to support sound, and will require the 2.2.26 modules.  They 
are all posted at his add-ons site for BL3.

So you should not need to compile any kernels for sound.
