You use 'rmmod <module name>', but with sound cards there's often several modules involved and you have to consider dependencies and remove them in the right order. However, there's a good chance your modprobe.conf is set up for this. Read the man page for rmmod (same function as 'modprobe -r'), and look at your modprobe.conf. -- C.
