As a newbie, I've been struggling to get my VIA 8233 onboard sound
working on my freshly installed Debian Woody system.

I'm running Sid instead of Woody. I have an Epox 8KHA+ mobo with the VIA 8233 AC97 onboard sound chip. It took me a long time to get it working, but here's what info I have.

The only thing I have in my /etc/modules file is:
   auto

Here are the files in my /etc/modutils directory:
westk03[westk]:/etc/modutils> ls
0keep    aliases            alsa-path  autofs  ppp
actions  aliases.dpkg-dist  arch       paths   setserial

Here's the (relevant) contents of /etc/modutils/aliases:
alias char-major-14     soundcore
alias char-major-116    snd
# ALSA Aliases
alias snd-card-0        snd-via8233
alias sound-slot-0      snd-card-0
# OSS/Free portion - card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

And the contents of /etc/modutils/alsa-path:
# Debian ALSA modules path
# Do not edit this unless you understand what you're doing.
path=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/alsa

And finally, a listing of my /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/pci directory:
westk03[westk]:/home/westk> ls /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/pci/
ac97      pdplus         snd-ens1371.o   snd-maestro3.o    trident
ali5451   rme9652        snd-es1938.o    snd-rme32.o       ymfpci
cs46xx    snd-als4000.o  snd-es1968.o    snd-rme96.o
emu10k1   snd-cmipci.o   snd-fm801.o     snd-sonicvibes.o
korg1212  snd-cs4281.o   snd-ice1712.o   snd-via686.o
nm256     snd-ens1370.o  snd-intel8x0.o  snd-via8233.o

Hopefully these things will help you get your sound working.

Attached you'll find my .config file for my 2.4.18 kernel. It'll help you figure out what options I chose in my kernel configuration.
