lspci (might need to install it) will be very helpful. I have a similar board and this is the output, less add on cards...

VT82C686 [Apollo Super ACPI] (rev 40) 00:07.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50) I have compiled my own kernel, these configs where what I needed when I built my it... CONFIG_SOUND_VIA82CXXX=y CONFIG_MIDI_VIA82CXXX=y CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=y CONFIG_SOUND_TRACEINIT=y # CONFIG_SOUND_DMAP is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_AD1816 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_SGALAXY is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_ACI_MIXER is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_CS4232 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_SSCAPE is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_GUS is not set CONFIG_SOUND_VMIDI=y so alsa does not seem _required_ (it may work) but I seem to recall sound did not work with the standard kernel.
