Once you have the latest kernel source there are two selections 
that need to be made: 

1) Under the IDE,ATA,MFM/RLL support menus, select the VIA 82CXXX 
Chipset support option. 

2) Under the Sound menu, select the VIA 82C686 Audio Codec option.
Whether or not you install this option as a module (e.g. M) or 
directly compiled into the kernel (e.g *) is your choice.  

Also, do not select OSS sound modules support when enabling the
option for the VIA 82C686 Audio Codec.
