That's it, both a dell and a gateway laptop I tried it would not work.
I tried the exact same configuration in a Dell Optiplex desktop and it
works perfect.

I'm beginning to wonder if my soundcard is not up to the task, I've
tried two different Laptops, maybe I need a desktop with a better
soundcard.

Those are for emulating a serial port, which will appear as
"/dev/soundmodem0".  You can then attach Xastir's "Serial KISS TNC"
interface directly to that filename.

If you configure with AX.25 kernel networking then you don't get that in
your setup but have to do additional things to bring up the port before
Xastir can connect to it with the "AX25 TNC" interface.
