Subwoofer, side, etc. speakers on Lenovo IdeaPad Y

[Guest Kevin J. Wangler]

How can I get my subwoofer and side speakers working in Mandriva 2010.0? In Ubuntu, I had to edit this file:

 

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

 

and add this line to it:

 

options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo-sky

 

I didn't see a file named alsa-base in Mandriva 2010.0, so I added it to the end of the /etc/modprobe.conf file and rebooted ... but then my laptop went into an endless cycle of rebooting itself. I had to boot off another CD, mount the drive, and modify the modprobe.conf file back to its original state.

 

So, what's the proper way to do this in Mandriva 2010.0? I want to be able to use all my speakers on my laptop. Thank you! :)
