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?
