Do you have /compat/linux/dev directory and/or mount devfs on it? Show
your "ls -l /compat/linux/dev".

I have tried to modify the values of the /dev/dsp0.0 to 0.4 with the xfce4-mixer, and impossible. All of them are down and I cannot wake up them, they fall down. Using the mixer command I see that all of them are in the same situation, the same as mixer0.
