Or you can leave them out entirely (answer 'n'). ALSA supplies drivers of it's own (like ens1371). After compiling and installing your kernel, visit the alsa-project website and sanity check your alsa installation: make sure you've got the drivers/libs as well as the alsa-base stuff. Double check that the alsa stuff is where it belongs - On my system (Debian) it's in /lib/modules/2.4.22-alsa/kernel/drivers/sound/.
