I have a problem with my modprobe.conf: I try to load the module
"snd-pcm-oss", the OSS Alsa compatiblity layer, at startup, though I
added it to my modprobe.conf it is not loaded at startup. Do you see
any mistakes in my configuration. And yes, it is possible to load
snd-pcm-oss as root.

Regards, Max

<---<<< Do you really want both? (Perhaps you do; I would not know.)

I have a 2.6 kernel (2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp) running on my other machine (CentOS
4.2) with a Soundblaster CT4780 (IIRC) PCI soundboard, and the relevant part
of the /etc/modprobe.conf file looks like this.

# Try to make sound work.
#ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# alias snd-card-0 snd-sb16
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
# module options should go here
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

Does yours need to be so complex? Or is that part of the problem?
