Yesterday I recompiled my kernel with sound support, as a module, and then compiled the Aureal Vortex 2 driver. All worked well until I rebooted.
After rebooting I had to log on a root, then type insmod au8830.o because all sound software said no sound device was detected. After that everything worked just fine. This isn't a big deal, but how can I get this process automated? I've never had to insmod anything before. The module autoloader (kmod) was compiled into the kernel, and in my /etc/modules.conf I've got: ### update-modules: end processing /etc/modutils/arch/i386 alias sound au8830 alias midi au8830 -- David J.
