[linux-audio-user] ALSA drivers don't stick...

[Erik Thorsson]

I tried removing both of those modules in turn, but it didn't fix the 
problem.  In fact, now when I run alsaconf it can't even detect my 
soundcard.  :)

I assume there is some kind of modules database and when I moved the 
modules out of their normal place, they were removed from this database. 
  I just need to add them back in, right?

How do you do this on Debian?

I could just apt-get ALSA all over again, but I'd rather understand the 
problem and how to fix it for the next time it crops up.

If anyone could assist, I'd be grateful.

Thanks!

P.S.  Also, neither insmod nor modprobe were successful for loading the 
kernel modules manually.
