Ok Im running Knoppix 3.7 with 2.4 kernel.

I had my sound working with my SoundBlaster Live pci card. I dreded restarting because it always seems to mess things up!! Anyways, I shut down, and upon returning to my KDE, guess what - sound isnt working!

The modules are loaded. emu10k1

Before all that I did to get the sound to work (after installing drivers etc...+shutdown for the night after i got sick of messing with them!) was type:
modprobe snd-emu10k1

and VOILA! - My sound was working! Unfortuantly the modprobe command did not work this time; even after unloading the soundcore and emu modules.

Im quite dissapointed =(

Also, is their a file somewhere that I can restart and not have to bring all my devices up manually? (i have to './start_net' everytime i reboot to get my wifi working)

Thank you.
