Sound directly compiled into the kernel [solved]

Keruskerfuerst

I have compiled the sound directly into the kernel - not as modules.
During boot, the sound chip is recongnized correctly. Nvidia AC97 onboard sound.
But the sound is not working together with VLC.
Also the sound setup with ALSA fails.

Has anyone a solution for that? (aside from: compiling the sound support as module)

Fault:
I have compiled the ALSA Virtual Midi support into the kernel.
Alsa could not set the mixer levels for that device.

Now I have working sound.

Thank you anyway!

Just add for working sound:
rc-update add alsasound boot.

You don´t have to execute alsaconf.
Just use the mixer setup delivered by the desktop (e.g. kmixer).
