Besides controllers, you need to compile a driver for a sound chip,
If you do in-kernel compilation, it is in 'PCI devices' under sound
subsection. On opteron motherboards it is often intel8x0 driver that you
need, so I have
CONFIG_SND_INTEL8X0=m
Here was my config when I did not know what chip I have (INTEL8x0 it was at
the end)
