You can put a "modprobe snd-card-0" into some startup script, but usually the distribution already has some such command somewhere. If you do not load the module at startup, it will be loaded automatically the first time you try to use it if there are the correct snd-card-x (for ALSA) and snd-slot-x (for OSS emulation) aliases. > So thats progress & apparently confirms that my modprobe is > sufficiently up to date.
