... I should have added that I don't use the builtin 0.9.0rcX Alsa-support which is part of the 2.4.21-0.25mdk kernel. It didn't work for me, see below, but I use Win4Lin as well. My mobo is a Asus P4PE, Intel 845PE chipset, with onbord-sound AC97/AD1980 connected to the ICH4 southbridge.
I am sure your mixer-settings for "CD" are O.K. Look for them in AlsamixerGUI.
If everything else fails you could build a new kernel from
source as I did. A new kernel built from the
MDK-kernel-source (_Alsa-support must be switched off_ by unchecking "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" in make menuconfig before patching with the Win4Lin-patches and recompiling!), the two kernel patches
extracted from the respective Win4Lin-package, and the alsa
0.9.5 packages: driver, lib, utils downloaded from the
alsa-project-site worked perfectly with the
intel8x0-Alsa-module which is appropriate for my mobo
... though I don't recommend you this somewhat complex procedure if another way is possible. So I omit detailed instructions here.
What I recommend you is to wait for the upcoming MDK _9.2-kernel_ which has Alsa 0.9.6 built-in and support from Netraverse.

Greetings Gurus and mega intelligent beings
Still got problems with this one. First of all the modules wer'nt loaded, so I manually loaded all the required OSS modules. Partial success got some sound...some ! so then ran draksound which preferred the Alsa modules so I let it load them, and again some sound. I ran modprobe and all the alsa modules listed below are there. BUT
no audio playback from the CD , yes the cable is connected. and the audio in win4lin is also non functional.
Its not a duff sound card as it works with winXP.. fingers down throat !
Just to make it worse, grotty pheonix bios dos'nt allow the onboard card to be disabled, so I cant just throw in a nice soundblaster or similar.
suggestions please
TIA Richard

For your soundchip choose the OSS-module i810_audio.0 or the Alsa-module snd-intel8x0. Use harddrake.
Before test if these modules are installed.
The output of
modprobe -n -v i810_audio
should be similar to
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.25mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/ac97_codec.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.25mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/soundcore.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.25mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o

Hi All, integral sound card on a mobo.
Listed by hard drake as ICH4 845G/GL chip set AC97, any ideas what maybe compatable with it, as
sound is not configuring..
