Is there another module that may have an exact chipset match ie: no x's in the module name. Also what card is this?

my sound card is
Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 64)

and hte alsa soundcard matrix says use snd-vio82xx

ive been working my way through the gentoo alsa guide
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml
but i dont seem to have modules-update andwhere on my pc

ah dont worry i just copyed all the contense from /etc/moudles.d/alsa to /etc/modules.autoload

and it works now

for all new linux users wanting to set up alsa read the gentoo documentation its very good
