Its the /etc/modules.conf file. That hold all the modules that are loaded at startup/on-demand. You should add something like

alias snd-slot-0 ymfpci

and you''re sound module should be loaded at boot time.

If you put a bunch of modes in there, you can change between them using Alt+Plus and Alt+Minus.

Thanks guys

for me switching modes in X is CTRL alt + and CTRL alt -

I don''t know if mine is just set differently or if he forgot a ctrl - in either case good luck

I forgot the Ctrl.
