Try snd-card-ymfpci or equivalent. > As looking at this Its still using the original sound drivers.. > That is because you have loaded the oss drivers not the alsa drivers.

If you install the alsa drivers correctly then you may or may not use alsa native or the oss emulation. It really depends on which api you use. Some only have internal support for oss which requires the oss emulation others like alsaplayer, ardour, glame, ecasound poss xmms (with a plugin) can use alsa directly. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.
