Problems with sound modules?



Hi, Everyone:

First of all, I'd like to thank Brian Mays help me to solve my
pcmcia_cs problem last time. Now I got a new trouble, that wish
some one can give me advices again.

This is my stiuration: Toshiba Satellite 2520CDT, with Yamaha
OPL3 SAx sound chips which is compatiable with Microsoft Sound
System or Creative Sound Blaster(The user menual said so...).

And here is my Debian: Debian 2.1 whith 2.2.10 kernel, I put
the last part of "make menuconfig"/"sound" for 2.2.10 kernel
in the end of this mail.

What I have done is: After complied my new kernel, I modified
the conf.modules with the value that came from Windows, I put
it at the edn of conf.modules file, here is the file(part of):

cat /etc/conf.modules:

# Sound
alias char-major-14 opl3sa2
pre-install opl3sa2 modprobe "-k" "ad1848"
post-install opl3sa2 modprobe "-k" "opl3"
options opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1x

After all, I still can't hear any audio output,include the CDROM
, I found there are not any audio device in /dev, then I decided
to make it by issue the "./MAKEDEV audio" at /dev directory, after
the device file been created, I type "lsmod" and here is the result
(part of):

lsmod:
Module                  Size  Used by
mpu401                 17628   0  (autoclean) (unused)
sound                    54428   0  (autoclean) [mpu401]
soundcore               2100   3  (autoclean) [sound]

Here is something about /dev/sndstat(nothing except OSS/Free....):

cat /dev/sndstat:
OSS/Free:3.8s2++-971130
Load type: Driver loaded as a module
Kernel: Linux hope 2.2.10 #1 Fri Oct 15 07:34:25 CST 1999 i586
Config options: 0

Installed drivers:

Card config:

Audio devices:

Synth devices:

Midi devices:

Timers:
0: System clock

I've try to execute the mixer but faile as the following result:

asmixer:
asmixer:unable to grab /dev/mixer

xmix:
Error opening mixer device: Operation not supported by device

Here is the message shown in xconsole when I execute xmix:

Oct 28 01:27:10 hope modprobe: can't locate module sound-slot-0
Oct 28 01:27:10 hope modprobe: can't locate module sound-service-0-0

Sometime xconsole will show:

Oct 28 12:26:04 hope modprobe: can't locate module synth0

this via make menuconfig):
