Many thanks. Indeed, it's there. However when I attempt to insert the module I get: abnormal:/home/computation # modprobe /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop/kernel/sound/pci/snd-es1938 FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.27.7-9-default/modules.dep: No such file or directory abnormal:/home/computation # modprobe /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop/kernel/sound/pci/snd-es1938.ko FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.27.7-9-default/modules.dep: No such file or directory Part of these messages make sense, even to me, becaise modules.dep is not where the systems seems to think it is, but rather at: /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop/modules.dep

Have you tried to change to that directory and run modprobe?

Is this a PCI sound card or are you using the motherboard sound? What's the output from lspci?

Thanks for your reply. It's a pci sound card.

Heree's the output of lspci (as root);

I was wondering if youhave any insights as to m the solution of my sound problemn? If I change to /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop/kernel/sound/pci and run modprobe snd-es1938.ko, I get: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.27.7-9-default/modules.dep: No such file or directory which makes sense, even to me, as there is no /lib/modules/2.6.27.7-9-default subdirectory. The modules.dep file is in /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop on my computer. This is the most trouble that I've had with a linux distribution in the last 15 years.
