I have a Sound Blaster 32, and if it helps I can tell you mine works on the
2.1 drivers.  Here are some things that come to mind:

1) Try:
        cd /dev
        ls -l audio
        sh MAKEDEV snd0
        ls -l audio

        See if you get a change in the device numbers.

2) The default volume should be OK, so that probably isn't it

3) IRQ 5 sounds right for the default card config.  Might make sure the
   cards isn't on 7 (the other common one).  

   By the way, if nothing else is on IRQ 5, don't think you need "conflicts".

4) Do you have a serial port using IRQ 5 too?

5) Is DMA 1 only used by the sound card?  You also might check your
   BIOS config and verify that it and DMA 5, IRQ 7 are allocated for use 
   on the ISA bus.
