Did you compile basic sound support as a module in the kernel? Then, if you don't have installed the same kernel-image as appriopriate for alsa-modules-2.2.XX, you should compile your own alsa-modules from the sources-deb. (cd /usr/src ; tar -xvzf alsa-sources-xxx ; cd linux ; make deb ; make-kpkg modules_image). Greetings, joachim
