Thanks much for the reply. I did NOT have the alsa-utils installed. I
thought I had, and that the system was configured. I have now installed
alsa-utils, alsa-base, and alsa-oss, and run alsaconf. My modules and
/dev do not match yours. You can tell by now that I am not expert at
this. I will compile my own kernel once I get everything up and
running, so I have a fall-back in case I incorrectly set some options
for the custom kernel.
Any further pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
