David:
Please take another look at the link I sent you earlier (linux.doc) and note
what you need to do with your /lib/modules/2.x.x when installing a new
kernel. When you build a kernel, you need to move the old modules (or delete
them) so that you can install the new kernel and its modules. I think that
might be the problem now.
Also, two things to note is that you can list any modules that are loaded
with the 'lsmod'. Do this to verify the modules aren't already loaded. Next
thing to know is that you need to add your user to the audio group. Look at
the file "group" in /etc: 'less /etc/group', the audio group is what you
want to give yourself permission to use, so you can add yourself to that
group with:
'adduser foobar audio' as root of course.
I don't use sndconfig if I build my own kernels. I only use this when I have
the default kernel (and all its modules) installed after a new Debian
install. Since you already know what module you need, simply use 'modconf'
to load it in after your new kernel is installed. If modconf fails, then you
have to dig a little further to see what you might have done. Again, 'lsmod'
is the tool you want to use to *see* what modules are already loaded.
