Well, unless your sound card is the same as mine a direct copy/paste of my modules.conf will do you little good. You need to go to Alsa's website (http://www.alsa-project.org) and look up your sound card (the Supported Soundcards link) and determine what to put in your modules.conf. What is your sound card? Mine was for an ancient Gateway laptop, built in, so it's pretty much a given that your settings will be different. > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13545 Feb 25 16:36 > /var/log/packages/alsa-driver-0.9.6-i486-3 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3036 Feb 25 16:37 > /var/log/packages/alsa-lib-0.9.6-i486-1 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 955 Feb 25 16:37 > /var/log/packages/alsa-oss-0.9.6-i486-1 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1359 Feb 25 16:30 > /var/log/packages/alsa-utils-0.9.6-i486-1 > > > ls -1 /lib/modules/ > > total 4 > drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Aug 29 2003 2.4.22/ > > > ls -l /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/sound/ > > total 36 > drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Aug 29 2003 acore/ > drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Aug 29 2003 drivers/ > drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 29 2003 i2c/ > drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Aug 29 2003 isa/ > drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Aug 29 2003 pci/ > drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Aug 29 2003 pcmcia/ > drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 29 2003 support/ > drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 29 2003 synth/ > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 29 2003 usb/ Ok, that all looks good, you probably just need the right modules.conf settings. If you look at /var/log/packages/alsa-driver-0.9.6-i486-3 you'll notice that it drops a bunch of files in /lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/sound, so if you decide to compile a new kernel, I believe you'll also need to rebuild the alsa driver (you can get the source from the alsa website).
