It should be here: /lib/modules/[kernel-version]/kernel/sound/pci/ali5451/snd-ali5451.ko If it's missing, you'll need to compile it from source or install a new kernel. If the module exists, what are the results of $ lsmod | egrep "snd|sound" ? If you don't see "snd-ali5451", try # modprobe snd-ali5451 If that doesn't work, it's possible that OSS modules are being loaded instead of ALSA ones. If "sound" is listed by lsmod, try # modprobe -r sound # modprobe snd-ali5451 If either of those succeeds, run alsaconf and also check the documentation: <http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?module=ali5451> -- PJR :-)
