This is the configuration of my kernel (as indicated by /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.9/.config): # # Sound # CONFIG_SOUND=m CONFIG_SOUND_ES1370=m CONFIG_SOUND_ES1371=m # CONFIG_SOUND_SONICVIBES is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_MSNDCLAS is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_MSNDPIN is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_OSS is not set and this is the contents of /etc/modules: #auto nfs smbfs vfat psaux serial lp 3c59x es1371 I've tried an "insmod sound" (as per some HOWTOs), but all I get back is: insmod: sound: no module by that name found
