Correct. Only said y to sound support, n to the rest. >2.

When I try running /ec/rc.d/alsa start I get a lot of insmod errors though. >4. Have you also checked your /lib/modules/(whatever version kernel you're >using) to see if the necessary modules actually got installed there? They were installed in /lib/modules/2.2.19/misc as they should have been. >5. What messages do you get if you type "amixer" and/or "alsactl store"? root at stoned:~# amixer The alsa driver was not detected in this system. >6.

I only have an isapnp.conf-sample. I have an sb-64 isa pnp. >These are all the ideas I can think of at the moment.
