you need to learn how to load modules for your hardware

That's all very nice.

But... have you made sure you are in the "audio" group?

In the file "/etc/group", there should be a line like that...

Code:

audio&#58;x&#58;29&#58;<yourself>

If your name isn't there... well, sound cannot work for you.

Just start simple first.
Downloading drivers... that shouldn't be the first step.

Run "alsaconf " as root

Give it a try, works most of the time for probing the drivers and setting up the modules.conf, all on it's own.

Hello
In general u should type

Code:

lspci -v | grep audio

to find out ur chip.
If it's done (and u know the modules to use etc...)
I read this in the slackbook:

Modules are stored in the /lib/modules/kernel version directory on your system. They can be loaded at boot time through the rc.modules file. This file is very well commented and offers examples for major hardware components.

And the rights of /dev/dsp should be sth like that:

Code:

$ls -l /dev/dsp
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    0, 111 Dec  7 15&#58;20 /dev/dsp
