problems using via82xx with 2.5.69

Hi. I compiled alsa as all modules using the ones provided in the 2.5.69 tree, but it loaded them and even though I have an asound.state file which I use with the 2.4.20 kernel and the 0.9.3c drivers, alsactl came up with two no information on control ... (I think 37 and 38) no such file or directory, and no sound came out at all -- all the volumes seemed to be at 0, even though the asound.state file said otherwise, but I couldn't get anything even though I tried to raise them using amixer.

What is happening here?

Any assistance would be appreciated.
