I do not know how I actually managed to get sound up and running, but it is now working perfectly.
I think it might have to do with the fact that I ran depmod -a to rebuild the dependency tree. I google searched about alsa and alsaconf and found a post saying that doing the depmod helped a few users fix their sound not working.
Thank you all for your help on this matter.
Cheers, Andrew

Hi all,
When I run alsaconf, it sucessfully detects my sb awe64 card, but after it has setup my /etc/modules.conf file and tried to do modprobe snd-awe, insmod returns an error that /lib/modules/2.4.20-19.9/kernel/sound/snd-awe.o file cannot be found. The file is there though. I originally had this problem doing the modprobe manually and I found on google that you had to rmmod all running sound modules before doing the modprobe.
I did that in this case, but the modprobe error still comes up. If I do a restart, the modules are loaded fine though, the mixer settings are set to normal, but still no sound. When I try to play a file on xmms, the system logfile comes up with modprobe errors.
Are they associated with my installation modprobe not being successful?
Also, is there a way of diagnosing the problem I am experiencing in linux? the dmesg sometimes doesn't show up any error, even though the sound is not working.
Cheers, Andrew
