Getting a sound module to load automatically at startup
Hello Everyone!
I recently added a sound card (emu10k1) to my OpenSuse(10.0) box and uninstalled the onboard sound, which was working perfectly.
Using Yast, I set up the new card, and it shows the following:
T4790 SoundBlaster PCI512
Configured as sound card number 0
Driver snd-emu10k1
Except: the driver module "snd-emu10k1" DOESN'T get loaded on startup. I have to go to a root shell and type "modprobe snd-emu10k1" and then then module and lots of other sound-related modules load up and the sound works fine.
Based on something I read, I added the following line to modprobe.conf.local:
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
Which has no effect at all--I still have to manually modprobe it.
So my question is: what can I do to make the snd-emu10k1 module get automatically loaded at startup?
Thanks!

With my Debian,
/etc/modules
takes care of your problem.

Suse10.0 doesn't have /etc/modules, just /etc/modprobe.conf , /etc/modprobe.conf.local, and the directory modprobe.d, which contains:
ibm_acpi ipw2200 nvidia prism2 sound sound.YaST2save tv
The sound file contains:
options snd-emu10k1 enable=1 index=0
# gZD2.i+D3WvH15Z2:CT4790 SoundBlaster PCI512
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
Any other ideas?

In case anyone is experiencing similar problems, the issue was solved by help I received at SuseForums.net:
/etc/sysconfig/kernel was changed to add "snd-emu10k1" to the line MODULES_LOADED_AT_BOOT="".
also:
/etc/init.d/boot.local was changed to have the line "modprobe snd-emu10k1" at the bottom.

Glad you got it sorted, that is what I did a few months back to get my integrated sound card to load, I simply added "modprobe sound" to /etc/init.d/boot.local
