The alsa utils must be compiled against the 2.6 kernel also. Basically, everything alsa has to be compiled against the kernel you are using.
The OP could also use the alsa in /linux-2.6.13 in cd2. That would work too

Only the ALSA drivers need to be compiled for the particular kernel you are using. ALSA utils, libs and oss aren't kernel specific.

That's why I was confused when he couldn't make it work by compiling in-kernel ALSA. Something else must have been wrong (which broke USB, too). Anyway, it's all sorted out now

Alas, I cannot. My *nix box has no internet access, no floppy drive, no internal cd burner, no usb support; and my nforce4 hardware completely broke the windows xp I was dual-booting.

In other news, I finally was able to compile the alsa-driver package against my 2.6 kernel, and just to be on the safe side recompiled the utilities and libraries packages. I still get that "no libao" message.

I'll try using Mr. Volkerding's .config file.

You shoud have run it in the console:
$lsmod (shows loaded modules)
$cd /usr/src/your-linux-kernel-version
$grep SND .config && grep SOUND .config (shows your sound config)

I can very easily type the commands and gaze at the output. Problems manifest when I try to post the output to this thread without going through the painstaking process of accurately copying the screens output to a piece of paper by hand, and then typing it into a text box. Hmmm. I suppose I could take screenshots with my digital camera. That'd be more accurate even than copying and pasting output to a text file.

Wait. You don't need it. Do this:
$lsmod > lsmod.txt
Then you will get lsmod.txt file where the output of lsmod will reside. Post its contents.
