Compaq V6000 Mepis64 Sound Card Install

READ THIS ENTIRE POST BEFORE PERFORMING ANY OF THE STEPS!!!!!
I am not good enough to troubleshoot any issues you may have, but I wanted to share my success with something that may be difficult for some
Ok here is my system specs

Compaq V6133CL
Microprocessor 1.6 GHz AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-52
Microprocessor Cache 2 x 512KB L2 Cache

I was successful in getting the sound to work on my laptop after reading these guides.
However I first uninstalled all the ALSA entries in Synaptic Package Manager
I did leave
alsa-oss
alsa-utils
libasound2
libasound2-dev
libesd-alsa0
libsdl1.2debian-all
linux-sound-base

I made the directory in /usr/src/alsa
downloaded into this directory
alsa-driver-1.0.14rc2.tar.bz2
alsa-lib-1.0.14rc2.tar.bz2
alsa-oss-1.0.12.tar.bz2
alsa-utils-1.0.14rc2.tar.bz2

unzipped them in /usr/src/alsa
did the configure, make, and make install as usual
I compiled my specific alsa driver like this, so make sure you have used Synaptic to download and install the headers for the specific linux kernel you are using
./config --with-sequencer=yes --with-cards=hda-intel --with-oss=yes --with-kernel=linux-headers-2.6.15-27-desktop64-smp

Then I installed the other packages as instructed

The only thing that didn't work for me was the modprobe.conf part, Mepis does something different and after some trial and error I added the following to my /etc/modules text file
snd-hda-intel
snd-pcm-oss
snd-mixer-oss
snd-seq-oss

once you save that file and reboot it will make the mute button on your laptop turn amber and when you finish booting you can open kmix and all should work!

Good luck and a big THANK YOU to those that created MEPIS and the ones that wrote the guides I used!
