Loading pcm driver separately is not necessary. It gets loaded by the module. Load the sound module and test it on GENERIC kernel! If the module doesn't get loaded and you were using your CUSTOM kernel, then you must be preventing it from loading in your CUSTOM kernel config, i.e., you may have compiled in wrong sound driver in your CUSTOM kernel that may be preventing from module to get loaded. If you are gonna use the sound module, you shouldn't include any sound drivers in your kernel configuration file! Test it on GENERIC kernel first as it doesn't have any sound drivers compiled in.
