sndconfig looking in the wrong place?
This relates specifically -- as will be seen -- to a HD install, but seems to apply generally.
Once again, with Knoppix 3.1 on my hard drive I attempt to get the sound working.
I run sndconfig and get:
You don't seem to be running a kernel with modular sound ?
? enabled. (soundcore.o was not found in the module search path). ?
? To use sndconfig, you must be running a kernel with modular ?
? sound, such as the kernel images shipped with Debian Linux or a ?
? 2.2 or greater kernel.
But:
root@rom-box:~# locate soundcore.o
/lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs/kernel/drivers/sound/soundcore.o
/mnt/hdc3/lib/modules/2.4.18-4GB/kernel/drivers/sound/soundcore.o
root@rom-box:~# locate via8233.o
/mnt/hdc3/lib/modules/2.4.18-4GB/kernel/sound/pci/snd-via8233.o
root@rom-box:~# cd /lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs/kernel/drivers/sound/
root@rom-box:/lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs/kernel/drivers/sound# ls

/mnt/hdc3 is my "old" SuSE drive.
I'm running sndconfig from the command line because I can't find it on the KDE menu (although I'm sure it's there). What happened to the alsa sound tool?
In all this, it looks to me as though:
a. The right module (i.e. snd-via8233.o) simply isn't there.
b. sndconfig is looking in the wrong place anyway!
This, BTW, is with the 0.69 sndconfig which is pretty ancient but which ships with 3.1 ![Crying or Very sad](images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)
Inspiration gratefully recieved: I did think of popping stuff where this godaweful configuration tool expects them, but.......

Where is the sound config?
Ok, seems to be a problem of those who have seen Linux at least once before.
Its in the KDE menu, KNOPPIX foder.
When there is a solution on how to make a Soundblaster ES1371 soundcard work on a notebook let me know please.
I couldn't manage it.
(Twinhead Slimnote VXe) with ES1371.
I can remember that ALSA did work at least once uisng SUSE 8.x
