Try man modules-update modules-update is a back(front?)end to manage modules.conf file. =========================================================== gNotebook ~ # cat /etc/modules.conf ### This file is automatically generated by modules-update # # Please do not edit this file directly. If you want to change or add # anything please take a look at the files in /etc/modules.d and read # the manpage for modules-update. # ### modules-update: start processing /etc/modules.d/aliases # Aliases to tell insmod/modprobe which modules to use blah blah blah ============================================================ You can directly edit the modules.conf file, but you may lose settings later. Grep for or add the following to your modules.conf file: ============================================================ alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss ============================================================ Then: $ /etc/init.d/alsasound restart ###this basically will unload/reload the snd modules.... $ alsamixer #anyluck?
