Michael - This part >modprobe error: >sb.o: init_module no such device suggests that you need a module "sb.o" . Maybe your distribution misplaced that one? Looking in the Linux kernel sources in Documentation/Configure.help, I find that depends on the option CONFIG_SOUND_SB which is associated with the question 100% Sound Blaster compatibles (SB16/32/64, ESS, Jazz16) support So, I suggest you configure your kernel for Sound Blaster support, do "make modules" and "make modules_install". Then try again. - Jim Van Zandt >From: "michael malver" <mmalver@visi.com> >Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2003 04:15:13 -0600 > >I tried it, yes. >I have an ess1888 soundchip set on my compaq.
