jared,

i can't find a directory in /etc named modules.d
i have files in /etc with the name module*

for example one called modules.conf here is what's
inside of it

# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.5 ---
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-atiixp
alias sound-slot-0 snd-atiixp
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---

when i run alsamixer i get :

no mixer elems found.

i didn't go past the instructions for modules.d
because those instructions were dependent on there
being a modules.d directory in /etc/
