To know if sound modules were loaded correctly, then just type cat /proc/ioports and look if you see your sound blaster somewhere (at 0x220 for example). Once you've compiled your sound card support using modules, when booting you can type something like: modprobe sound io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 then you must also load specific modules. I don't remember the names exactly, but for example modprobe opl3 will load opl3 module, just do the same for sb, awe32 support; ls /lib/modules/2.1.125/misc to see the sound modules. > So how can I fix that? Hope it helps you. If I'm wrong, hope that someone will correct me :-) Cu! Alexis
