Try 'modprobe audio'.
I found that 'modprobe audio' worked and I added a line to
/etc/modules.conf ..
alias sound audio
This is on a YDL2.1 Cube.
I seem to remember kernel 2.2.18 working like that, too. If you don't have
an audio.o module, you'll need to compile one from your kernel source.
It's under USB Audio Support, in the USB menu.
FWIW, my kernel (default YDL2.1) is 2.4.10-12a
Good luck,
Tim
