probing the sound device at boot up?

[Seph64]

I am using Slackware 8.1 with a compiled 2.4.20 kernel.

Everytime I log on, I have to modprobe emu10k1 (I have a Sound Blaster LIVE card) to get the sound to work.

I had tried adding

echo alias sound emu10k1

in my modules.conf file like the Sound Cards NHF said, but that returns a error.

Anyone have any ideas?

[irrevtim]

add the line:
/sbin/modprobe emu10k1

to the sound section of:
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules

worked for me anyway
