Ok , I found modprobe and when I run it, the list is huge.... do you know what I should look for in order to tell if I have sound support turned on?

"locate modprobe" will probably tell you that it's /sbin. So you can use
/sbin/modprobe ...

Howdy all!
I am still trying to get sound working with my Alsa driver. The error message I receive at start up is:
Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such device)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device
Note that I have a file called "/be/dsp" - it does exist..
In reading through the INSTALL file, I found the following note: You must turn on sound support (soundcore module).
Can anyone tell me how I can do this or see if it is already done?
I found a previous ALSA message here:
http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/msg.php3?msg_id=6672074&list=12350
It mentioned two things. First, check what modules I have installed with "modprobe -l". That didn't work:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] robertmarkbram]$ modprobe -l bash: modprobe: command not found [EMAIL PROTECTED] robertmarkbram]$
But it also said to check what files re in /lib/modules/2.x.x/kernel/drivers/sound. This is what I have:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] robertmarkbram]$ ls /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/sound/

The hardware browser under Gnome says I have a "82801DB AC'97 Audio" device... whose manufacturer is Intel Copr. and whose driver is i810_audio.
I wrote the install script from instructions given on this page: http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/ALSA.html The script is shown below.
Any help would be much appreciated!
