This doesn't look like an error to me - just a information. It's like Postfix notifiying you if you use SASL that /etc/sasldb is more recent than /var/spool/postfix/etc/sasldb, etc. (if running chrooted).

What does lsmod say ?
What about insmod ac97_codec ?

lsmod:

soundcore 3236 (size) 0 (used) (autoclean)

insmod ac97_codec

using /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/sound/ac97_codec.o.gz

it also says something about:

Please check that you have permission to open /dev/mixer
and make sure you have sound support compiled into your kernel

no1 got a clue?

there are several modules that have to be inserted for
sound to work. go to your modules directory
and insmod anything with oss or mixer or pcm in the
name.
