I've been trying all day to get the sound up and running, but no
dice. I have the chaintech vnf4 ultra which has onboard nvidia sound.
I have the snd-intel8x0 driver module and modprobe gives no error. I
tried commenting out the oss modules but I'm not to sure that I did a
thorough job(im a newb) Here's my lsmod output:

As you can see there's still oss modules loaded(told you im a newb).
I'm not sure is thats significant but i'm sure that I don't know what
else to try. Its a Debian 64bit distro running 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8
kernel and I believe that the alsa drivers are on by default. any
help would be appreciated.
