I have a VIA chipset sound card running off the PCI bus. I have found the via sound driver on my system, but now how do I go about telling my system to load the driver?

/etc/rc.d/rc.modules has a section for sound, and I believe that my sound driver is at /lib/modules/2.4.5/kernel/drivers/sound/via82cxxx_audio.o but now what do I do?

in rc.modules it should have a line like
/sbin/modprobe via....
if si uncoment that line and you also might have to edit /etc/modules.conf with the line
alias sound via.....

I've looked, there are commented sections for most popular sound cards, but not the via one. When I look there are extra stuff in the string for it, such as io, irq, dma and such, but I have no idea what to put in the string if I were to add it.
