I have a compaq presario laptop as well with the same ali5451 card.
You do not need any OSS modules, however I do have the ALSA - OSS
emulation modules checked in. Although I've heard it is convenient to
have them compiled as modules, mine are compiled static.
CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=y
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=y
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y
If you have hotplug or discover1 installed, you may need to blacklist
the OSS modules in their respective config files (On winbloze right
now, let me know if you need the exact file names) and comment out the
OSS modules if any in /etc/modules as well.
The volume by default might be muted, alsamixer works well.
Here is my 2.6.10 config should you need it. http://gpoppy.org/config-2.6.10
Cheers,
