I have searched for a wiki or FAQ page on sound - is there one? I have a Terratec sound card that uses the snd-fm801 sound driver. Other distros have had varied success setting it up, but it does work with Vector Linux. I get an error when I try to play sounds with snack telling me that it cannot write to /dev/sound/dsp.
lsmod tells me that 'soundcore' is the only sound module loaded. I have tried
modprobe snd-fm801
from the command line, but the module cannot be found. Does anyone have suggestions about what I can do?

Getting sound to work
Got sound to work now
Thanks for the help - Niether "ad1816" nor "ad1848" worked, but the "forte" driver (included on the Puppy CD) works without problems.
