Sound for woody with 2.2.12
I want to get sound working on my woody box with kernel version 2.2.12. I was originally slink and a half with kernel 2.2.12. I upgraded to potato and then woody. I have ready numerous how-to's, articles, tutorials, and mailing lists trying to figure out how to get my isa Sound Blaster 16 (mocel CT2291) working. Several things I have read said slink needed sound compiled into the kernel. Other things have said with kernel 2.2, you use modules rather than compile the kernel. I have tried modconf and found no modules related to sound. I found articles on SB16 that say I need modules adlib_card, opl3, sb, sound, and uart401. I did a locate on these names with the .o extension and found nothing. I downloaded sndconfig from unstable which will help configure the sound card but it needs modules loaded, it says, and so does other documentation. So, I guess my questions are:
Do I have to compile the kernel?
If so, could I replace the kernel with a newer one instead? (I've never done this and would rather wait until I learn linux more before compiling a kernel.)
If 2.2.12 does not need recompiling, how do get the modules needed? I've looked at all the packages and find no help there.
