Hi!, I have installed on my PC an aureal vortex 2 soundcard driver,
chipset au8830. So far i can hear my CD-rom musics, mp3 don't
work and linux is silent. During the installation i got this error
message:
[root@localhost aureal]# make install
mv -f /etc/modules.conf /etc/modules.conf.old
gawk -f mod_conf /etc/modules.conf.old > /etc/modules.conf
echo "alias sound au8830" >> /etc/modules.conf
echo "alias midi au8830" >> /etc/modules.conf
mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/misc
cp -f au8830.o /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/misc
/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/rmmod au8830
rmmod: module au8830 is not loaded
make: [install] Error 1 (ignored)
/sbin/modprobe au8830
[root@localhost aureal]#
What should i do to fix it? Every time i open linux i have to reinstall my sound(make install) because if i don't do it then i don't get any sound. Kind of weird , isn't it? Is there a guru out there? Thanks in advance.

Sorry for my question but how to do it. I am a newbie. I assume i have to write in # modprobe au8830 but i get "command not found"
Could you be more explicit , please? Thanks.

You have login as root to use /sbin
/usr/sbin commands. If you su as root, you
wont get them to your path. So command goes
as /sbin/modprobe (in this case
"/sbin/modprobe au8830".
