Firstly, use modprobe instead of insmod. Secondly, load the isapnp module (modprobe isapnp) this should save you having to confiigure your io ports, irq etc manually. Thirdly, type modprobe sb to load the driver. This should also load sound and soundcore automatically. Fourthly, try to play a sound. If all that works, add the lines "isapnp" and "sb" to your /etc/modules file.

If the above doesn't work for you then repost here and make sure to post any error messages you get along the way and the output of lsmod and lspci -v. You will have to be root for modprobe and lsmod to work.

[root@bzq-218-43-190 root]# modprobe soundcore
[root@bzq-218-43-190 root]# modprobe isapnp
modprobe: Can't locate module isapnp
[root@bzq-218-43-190 root]# modprobe sb
[root@bzq-218-43-190 root]#

what is the prob?

Looks like you don't have the isapnp module compiled. It may be compiled into your kernel so I think that's why modprobe sb didn't give an error. Did you try playing a sound? Did you look at the output of lsmod?

sorry,i'm new on linux..i don't anderstand much...

That doesn't really answer any of my questions. Did you manage to play a sound at any stage (making sure the volume levels are set high) and could you post the output of lsmod?

modprobe soundcore
modprobe isapnp
modprobe sb
