If so, why?? cards_limits is just a hint. The system assumes that if you explicitly try to open /dev/mixer2, you really want to open /dev/mixer2. (In this case, "you" means "one of your programs that tries to be helpful even if you'd kill it if you knew what it was". :-) The cuplrit may be a sound daemon or some plug&play thing that scans for new hardware. Or you could add the following lines to modules.conf to say that these modules shouldn't be loaded even if some stupid program tries to load them: alias sound-slot-2 off alias sound-service-2-0 off HTH Clemens ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
