I just got Knoppix to work with my sound card, Creative Audigy 2. That was the coolest thing, hearing the female voice saying "Initializing startup sequence, and Initializing shut-down sequence" or something like that. Is that a Knoppix thing, or an Alsa thing? I used the cheat code to get alsa working.

I would like to get alsa working without a cheat code. I think it has to be added to the kernel as a module, but could someone point me in the right direction for doing that? I remember something about typing in "make" in a console once when i was fooling around with Mandrake.
