Hi, I've just downloaded alsa-utils, alsa-driver and alsa-libs, all in version 0.9.6 to use with my redhat 9 installation. I followed all the instructions from the alsa sound mini howto, up to the bit where you use /sbin/modprobe snd-cardname. I tried
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ymfpci]# /sbin/modprobe snd-ymfpci /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/sound/pci/ymfpci/snd-ymfpci.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/sound/pci/ymfpci/snd-ymfpci.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/sound/pci/ymfpci/snd-ymfpci.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/sound/pci/ymfpci/snd-ymfpci.o: insmod snd-ymfpci failed As well as a few other possibilities that I gathered here and there from the archives of this mailing list.
