After building alsa-utils and alsa-driver, I ran alsaconf to configure my sound card and the information was stored in /etc/modprobe.conf:<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp; #<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; # /etc/modprobe.conf: modprobe(8) configuration<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; #<br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---

Please tell me how to load this file during startup. I&#39;ve tried &quot;modprobe -C /etc/modprobe.conf&quot; but that doesn&#39;t seem to do anything.
