Hi Greg. I don't use modules.conf, I have a script which loads my sound modules. Also, don't install your modules in /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound tree, because this is in conformance with the kernel 2.5.x tree. I have found that 2.4.18 has problems with this. What I did was build the code as follows: ./configure --with-oss=yes --moddir=/lib/modules/2.4.18/misc. I created the misc directory manually. I then wrote a script that loads the sound module, and runs alsactl to restore the previously saved mixer configuration. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gregory Nowak <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 2:53 PM Subject: problem configuring sb16 and alsa > Hi all, > > I have finally gotten around to configuring my sb16 card with alsa 0.9.0 beta 12 on one of my machines.
