soundcard and driver detected, butFATAL error, and no sound

[kriszz]

When booting KNOPPIX 4.0 from DVD, i get the following message:

soundcard = Vortex 2 driver = au8830
modprobe : FATAL : Error running install command for sound_slot_0

So my soundcard doesn't work. Is there something that i can do?
Maybe an BIOS setting?

run alsaconf in su
follow directions - choose the soundcard - check au8820 driver
configure alsamixer and/or kmix
then checkout lsmod to see it installed
