Oops, make that:
Add emu10k1 to your /etc/modules file.

I'm curious about your insmod attempt.  You said that "insmod snd-emu10k1" 
didn't work, but "modprobe emu10k1" did.

emu10k1 is the name of the module.  snd-emu10k1 is not.  That could be the 
reason insmod didn't work.  In any case, it's usually best to prefer 
modprobe, as it can usually figure out what other modules to load to 
resolve intermodule dependencies.  Under the sheets, it uses insmod.  So if 
you really meant that "insmod emu10k1" didn't work, then it should have 
said something about why...like unresolved externals or something.  In that 
case, it relies on something from another module, which modprobe knew 
about.

D!
