i can't run alsamixer, or load a driver, i was wondering if i could copy all those modules from /lib/.../2.4.22/... and place them somewhere (dont know where exactly) in my current configuration (2.4.26) i dont know why its not loading, but its confusing me, it was a bit easier to configure before. i am just an average slackware user trying to battle this sound problem, any and all help would certinly be appreciated, thanks!

You might need to reinstall t
You might need to reinstall the alsa-drivers. That means recompiling the alsa-driver package for your new kernel, and then sound should work like it did before. :)
been there...done that....
i use slackware, and i ran swaret and updated alsa (alsa,alsa-utils,alsa-oss) and still nothing, but, i found that with kernel .22 i was using the module snd-via82xx, and .26 uses via82cxxx_audio. now, i can load that module and can get sound, but it needs some tweaking, i ran quake and it almost lags because of the poor sound quality, i play an mp3, and it sounds decent, its weird, i am unable to run alsamixer, when i run alsaconf it does me no good, cannot detect anything, any ideas? thanks!

via82cxxx_audio
via82cxxx_audio is the name of the OSS driver, so you're not using alsa, whose module is still called snd-via82xx. Try enabling just the sound support in the kernel, not including any drivers. Then install and load the alsa-driver, using your old config. Hope that might help.
this sucks...
i went and remove'd all my alsa packages, went to alsa's webpage, downloaded alsa,libs,utils, and oss, configured libs with snd-via82xx and still nothing! i'm using the 2.4.26 kernel, i believe i have sound support in the kernel, i checked and it seemed fine....*confused*lost*
OSS conflict
If you have compiled the old oss drivers as well they will load and the alsa drivers won't work. Try rmmod'ing them if they are loaded, and if that fixes your problem you can just delete the oss drivers from the /lib/modules/ directory or recompile without the oss drivers configured.
