anybody know how I can disable loading of all sound modules on a system. I
tried adding 'alias snd off' in /etc/modprobe.conf but that didn't seem to work
I saw that there were a bunch of sound module definitions in
/etc/modprobe.conf.dist. Should I comment them out ?
This is what I have in my /etc/modprobe.conf
alias snd off
#alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
#options snd-card-0 index=0
#install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
#remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
relevant output from /sbin/lsmod
snd_intel8x0 33769 0
snd_ac97_codec 63889 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_pcm_oss 49017 0
snd_mixer_oss 17985 1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm 96841 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer 29893 1 snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc 9673 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
snd_mpu401_uart 8769 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_rawmidi 26597 1 snd_mpu401_uart
snd_seq_device 8137 1 snd_rawmidi
snd 55461 9
snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device
soundcore 9889 1 snd
Thanks, Yusuf
