Sound under 2.1.125

I have Kernels 2.0.35smp and 2.1.125 with sound modules for the SB-AWE32. With 2.0.35 there is no problem.
But I can't hear anything wtih 2.1.125. Kmix puts out:
"There is no mixer support for your system" although "ls -l /dev/mixer" is there:
crw-rw-r-- 1 root audio 14, 0 Jul 21 02:45 /dev/mixer

So how can I fix that?

The mixer device can exist; it doesn't mean that sound is supported. To know if sound modules were loaded correctly, then just type cat /proc/ioports and look if you see your sound blaster somewhere (at 0x220 for example).

Once you've compiled your sound card support using modules, when booting you can type something like: modprobe sound io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 then you must also load specific modules. I don't remember the names exactly, but for example modprobe opl3 will load opl3 module, just do the same for sb, awe32 support; ls /lib/modules/2.1.125/misc to see the sound modules.

Hope it helps you. If I'm wrong, hope that someone will correct me :-)
