I just switched my computer over to Linux full time a couple weeks ago with the aid of JAMD. While certainly nice, fast, and easy to use, it wasn't as flexable as I wanted, so I decided to wipe it out and give Slackware 9.1 a try.
Thanks to my Dell's Aureal Vortex 1 sound card, I've never had sound in Linux. But according to the sf.net project for the Aureal cards, it is now supported in ALSA 0.97b and above. So with high hopes I used Swaret to upgrade alsa to 0.98.
Unfortunately I need to do more it seems, as I still get all the same errors as before. alsaconf couldn't find anything.
I've done a number of searches here at LQ, and tried a few suggestions that sounded like they would apply, without success. The closest one I found to my problem was this one:

However I am not having much luck with it.
When I get to the part where he says "Next you can use modprobe snd-au8810." I get the following:
# modprobe snd-au8810
Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.22/modules.dep
modprobe: Can't locate module snd-au8810
Am I even on the right track?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
