Kernel settings for audio on ASrock Dual sata-II [SOLVED]

Does anyone know what the correct kernel settings are for the Ali audio on the above board..... i've tried the ali drivers in ALSA as well as OSS, and i just can't seem to get it working..... i'm compiling these directly into the kernel.... does that matter??? or do they have to be compiled as modules???

Thanks in advance.

Tried getting sound to work using the Gentoo ALSA howto but was unsuccesful.... i noticed during startup it errors out when trying to load the snd-intel8x0 module. I know i've had sound working on gentoo before with the hardware. seems like i used oss before but that was an older kernel.

I tried with oss on 2.6.20 today but that didn't work either. I'm quite stuck at the moment. Sound is the only thing have left to get working on this machine.

Anyone have any insight??? or maybe some troubleshooting tips???

any help is appreciated.

Hm, I got it working once, but it is a long time ago.

And it is really not worth it. The sound sucks. It is really, really bad. You won't loose anything not using it ...

but first of all: use the in kernel alsa-drivers not the external package.

You need:
<M> Intel/SiS/nVidia/AMD/ALi AC97 Controller

if you use the 'internal' alsa and build almost everything else needed/wanted as module too, you shouldn't run in problems.

But as I said: the onboard sound really is not worth the trouble.
