Sound problem: Sorry, no mixer ...

[Bernard Fay <bfay@deepcosmos.ca>]

I was able to load the driver snd_cs4236 for my sound card on my
Thinkpad 600E laptop but when I tried to open the Volume Control under
Gnome it poped an error saying:

Sorry, no mixer elements and/or devices found

I use Sarge with a custom 2.6.8.1 kernel with the following sound
options:

# CONFIG_CHR_DEV_OSST is not set
CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y

CONFIG_SND=m
CONFIG_SND_TIMER=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM=m
CONFIG_SND_HWDEP=m
CONFIG_SND_RAWMIDI=m
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m
CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY=m
CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y
CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER=m
CONFIG_SND_MPU401_UART=m
CONFIG_SND_OPL3_LIB=m
CONFIG_SND_DUMMY=m
CONFIG_SND_VIRMIDI=m
CONFIG_SND_SERIAL_U16550=m
CONFIG_SND_MPU401=m
CONFIG_SND_CS4231=m
CONFIG_SND_CS4232=m
CONFIG_SND_CS4236=m
CONFIG_SND_OPL3SA2=m
CONFIG_SND_AC97_CODEC=m
CONFIG_SND_NM256=m


Does somone has an idea of what is wrong with my setup?

Thanks,
Bern
