With an AC 97 type soundcard, I have the excerpt below in
/etc/modprobe.conf for sound.
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 ||:
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
Some sound configuration utility moved my modules line down a bit. The
important information is most likely the below.
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
If you substitute snd-es18xx for each occurance of snd-intel8x0 in the
modprobe.conf file, maybe the sound will work.
I still have to right click on the sound icon and select "open volume
control" with each boot in order to get sound.
Out of curiousity, I ran
modprobe snd-intel8x0
to see if I got any errors because the module already being loaded.
Modprobe did not return any output. I was curious if an already loaded
module would produce an already loaded error message or not. I ran it
twice and no output shows for an already loaded module.
Running lsmod lists the below sound related modules. I assume that other
than the sound driver, things should be pretty similar. (Purely
guessing). Note the one line from running the lsmod command is pretty long.
Good luck,
Jim
