Tal y como apuntaba José Juan de Miguel, anoche desinstale alsa otra vez y configure mi kernel 2.4.18 eliminando todos los modulos del apartado de sonido y de OSS y activando estáticamente (no como módulo) las opciones de ESS1371 e ICH-i810. Despues de volver a compilar el kernel y rearrancar el equipo, aparentemente todo es correcto (no hay errores en KDE) y los controles de audio funcionan, pero sigue sin oirse sonido alguno. He arrancado W$ y los altavoces funcionan correctamente (#grrrr...!¿).
He detectado que en el arranque me salen algunas lineas que no se interpretar (no se que es DAC's). A continuación copio la parte de mi syslog que hace referencia al sonido por si alguien que sepa interpretarlo me puede orientar. Gracias -:) . . . .
