Short answer: modprobe es1371 If that doesn't work, and es1371.o does not exist in your /lib/modules/* tree for the kernel you are running, then you are either in trouble, or this sound driver has been compiled into the kernel itself (which is not recommended). Long answer: If you have a redhat box, simply run the sndconfig utility, which puts an alias into /etc/modules.conf (or /etc/conf.modules) that specifies an alias for the module. On my redhat 7.0 box (with a 2.4.x kernel and the same sound card), I have: alias sound-slot-0 es1371 Other distributions might have different mechanisms for setting this up. The alias name is also different ("alias sound es1371", IIRC) in earlier distributions (kernel version dependent).
