[NTLUG:Discuss] any experience with an Intel D845BG motherboard with built in sound?

[kbrannen@gte.net]

I have an SBLive! card; it also uses the ac97 module.  I had real trouble with 
it until I wrote my own rc script to do:
         insmod soundcore
         insmod sound
         insmod ac97_codec
         insmod emu10k1 || return=$rc_failed
You can replace the emu10k1 module with the one you need, but until I did 
this, nothing seemed to work.

HTH,
Kevin
