ok.......i have sid and the 2.4 kernel ( ac'97 on board chip)
las time i asked how to make the sound work you told me to add myself to the audio group .....how do i do that?
the problem is i do not have a soundcard installed
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
and when i start linux i get a similar message saying that there are no cards and that it will direct output to dev/null
i have installed alsa-modules-2.4.27-i-386
libasound2
alsa-base
what sould i install next....or where did i go wrong?

what is the output of lsmod and lspci | grep -i audio
I've never messed with alsa and the 2.4.x kernels. I've heard it can be a pain though.
you can add yourself to the audio group by typing as root
adduser yourusername audio
then type groups as yourself to verify it was successful.
just some advice I would sugest upgrading to the 2.6 kernel now before you get your system all pretty and happy. teh 2.6 kernel has a lot to offer and it's not as hard to do as one would think.
Great Debian how to for kernel compile.

Alsaconf seems to be looking for soundcards so it doesn't work.
i have added myself to the audio group

sorry bro, I've been working on production issues, writting perl scripts, and getting ready for year end BS for the good folks that give me my paycheck and bonus.
I see you've opted to try and compile yourself a 2.6 kernel, good choice btw. I'll be popping in If I have quick answers I'll help you out just trying not to burn out.
