Ubuntu question: no modprobe.conf??......
i'm setting up Ubuntu on my desktop and all is going pretty well overall.
right now i'm trying to get the nForce audio driver installed. the sound works with the default alsa driver, but i can't figure out how to enable surround. i figure getting nvaudio and nvmixer installed might help.
however, the directions here want me to edit the modprobe.conf as usual, but Ubuntu doesn't seem to have one. nor does it have a conf.modprobe or modules.conf or anything that resembles the configuration file i need.
in the modprobe.d folder, mentioned in the directions, there is a file called "aliases" that has a bunch of (go figure) aliases in it, but none of them are for sounds modules.
i'm hoping someone has some experience with Ubuntu modules and can point me in the right direction.
i've seen that some ppl think the alsa drivers are actually better than th nvidia ones, so if anyone is familiar with alsa and cn tell me how to get 5.1 working that would work too
