how do you save a modprobe setting?

[LinuxHippy]

I have an old ISA SB16 sound card that seems to only be recognized by FC2 if I issue modprobe snd_sb16 as root. The first time I did this, I then had to turn up the mixer sound settings in kde (kmix). Problem is that when I reboot I lose the modprobe setting. How do I save this setting? Should I enter it in my /etc/modprobe.conf file?

yup, thats the file file to use. what is the name of the hardware? find it in the hardware browser under system tools. add it to the modprobe.conf file like this

alias snd_sb16 <hardware name>

What would the hardware name be? Soundcard?

Thanx for the tip, supernerd! Sound works by itself now. Added the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf:

alias sound-slot-0 snd_sb16

And then typed kmix and turned the volume setting up from mute.
