What is the info for configuring sound in Debian please? I have a book that I got with Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 - 'Sams Teach Yoursel Linux in 24 hours' (no chance!) that mentions 'insmod' but Debian doesn't approve! What is the right way to configure sound in Debian?
Have you read the sound howtos? They're pretty useful.
I have a SoundBlaster AWE-32 and do the following.
echo "sound" >> /etc/modules
put the following in /etc/conf.modules (adjust the io/irq/etc if needed) alias sound sb options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
When the system boots it will load all kernel modules listed in /etc/modules with the options specified in /etc/conf.modules.
You can test without rebooting by doing, rmmod sound, modprobe sound. If it fails, rmmod all of the modules related to sound (lsmod will list them).
