From the output of the alsa-info script, alsa is not recognizing your card. There is no setup for it. As you say, the driver is loading, and it is likely NVidia. When you installed the library, did you check that everything went in the right place? Some distros move things. The standard location for alsa-lib files is in /usr/share/alsa. Check that those files are the files from the package. Then search in /etc to see if they also exist there. If they do, either link or overwrite them with the latest versions. And ensure that there aren't any old library versions around. libasound usually resides in /usr/lib, but I have seen it in /lib. Is the linked version the version from your compile? Did you run an /sbin/ldconfig after you updated the library? Are there any messages in /var/log/messages relating to alsa? What about after a boot when the sound device is probed? When you do ls /proc/asound , is there any information there? As you can tell, I suspect some sort of mismatch somewhere. The card appears to be recognized and the driver installed, but alsa doesn't know about it. Did you select OSS instead of alsa when you were configuring your custom kernel? I vaguely recall seeing something on the devel list about 2.6.26 having a different interface for alsa, but I could be misremembering. You could try the latest git snapshot instead of the official 1.0.17.
