Please help - confused about kernel sound support

[Radar]

I installed Debian potato with sound support from the module configuration initially. And I tried to find the emu10k1 module using modprobe (it's not there)

After doing some searches, I learn that the kernel supports the sblive, but you need to compile support into the kernel. Now - what's the difference between adding sound support in the initial install and compiling sound support by rebuilding the kernel?

I don't mind trying to rebuild my kernel, but if I added sound support initially, how come I can't find the emu10k1 module? I want to avoid rebuilding the kernel if it's unnecessary.

I will be grateful for any help!

Check in the NHF section under sound I believe and there is a NHF on how to get your sblive up and working. Hope that helps.

Yeah, I've looked there, but it seems kernel 2.2.17 has support for it already and I'm wondering about that. That NHF is missing Debian specific things anyway - I would need to get the kernel source. I want to avoid doing that if the support for the card is there by default.
