The behavior of the sound cards is considerably different with 3.x and 4.x. Which sound card? They make some really good ones and then come the AWE's and the SbLives. With so many choices and without a clue, you won't even get a real suggestion. I have 3 different Sound Blaster cards and they all work on 4-stable. I only had to add the sbc bridge on the really old SB-16. The rest I added "device pcm", and made and installed my kernel and after the reboot did a Makedev snd0. With 3.x, you have a pcm0 and either snd0 or snd1 depending on the type of SB.
