Well, I think I'm going to give up on this project for now. Nothing
suggested has worked thus far. I mean, the modules load, but still no
sound. Isn't there some sort of sound configuration utility available
to simplify stuff like this?
Also, I think I'm going to wipe the system and put 98SE back on her for
the time being. For some reason, even with a very minimalist
configuration (using IceWM for my desktop, and very few X-based apps),
the 800 and somethingMB hard drive this system has in it is nearly full.
I'll put Debian back on after I get a much larger drive and get the RAM
maxed out at 40MB (currently running 24MB) for it, and start from
scratch.
