Do you get sound without doing the modprobe? Read the documentation at alsa-project.org to see what modules your card needs. I don't know if discover will help here as I haven't seen messages from it in the dmesg output when I boot 2.6. You can load some modules using /etc/modules but I'd read the debian documentation to see what the prefered method is. ----- Original Message ----- From: "BlindTech" <epyd2@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 5:22 AM Subject: alsa > when i type alsaconf it searches for my card then says it found a sb16. > thats good. but, what do i do to get it to load automatically at start up. i > know you have to edit a startup file and load the neccisary modules but what > file? and when the computer boots there is a line that says alsa started:not > loaded. i'm asuming it is talking about my card? my system is a debian sarg > box. thanks so much for any advise. > Blind Tech > website: http://www.users.qwest.net/~drjann/epyd/ > contact info can be found on website > email list: EPYD Radio-subscribe at yahoogroups.com > EPYD the only place to be! > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
