audio trouble (Unable to open audio device '/dev/mixer')

[Dan Rosenbloom]

Hi all-

Had to re-install gnome due to some messing around I did. Now I don't 
seem to see /dev/mixer.
here's my error message:

"Volume control is unable to run correctly.
Unable to open audio device '/dev/mixer'.
Please check that you have permissions to open '/dev/mixer'
and that you have sound support in your kernel.
Press Quit to exit Volume control"

I've changed permissions -
I have soundcore.o in /lib/modules/2.4.24-1.ydl.1.1016/kernel/drivers/sound/

any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
