I have the same problem and followed your directions exactly. I even upped my kernel from 2.2.20 to 2.4.18 and included the Intel sound option into the kernel but having same problems. On bootup I get the following message: Sound Server Message: Error while starting driver: device /dev/dsp can't be opened. (no such device). I have done chmod 777 on /dev/dsp /dev/dsp1 2 and 3 added myself to audio group. Here is my lsmod and lspci:
