The Skype folks were giving you file references for the Debian

empty, and named "sound".
Back to Fedora: The file that is used for all this stuff in Fedora
is /etc/modprobe.conf.
This is not correct -- take a look at modprobe(8) and
modprobe.conf(5), Fedora has exactly the same configuration as
Debian (I know, I used both). I have here all my files in
/etc/modprobe.d and everything works like a charm. The only
caveat is (both at Debian and here) that when there is
/etc/modprobe.conf modprobe takes configuration from there, and
only if it isn't present it goes to individual files in
/etc/modprobe.d. Remove your /etc/modprobe.conf (of course,
compare its content with the content of /etc/modprobe.d files
first) and files in /etc/modprobe.d will be taken into
consideration.

Hello and thanks for the info. I will sure look hard at man modprobe
and modprobe.conf and see what they say. I was sure the Skype people
were talking Debian :-)
