LOL...OK, that went by a little fast for me, but here's what I have listed
under lsmod that has to do with sound (from what it looked like to me,
that is):
snd-pcm-oss
snd-pcm-plugin [snd-pcm-oss]
snd-mixer-oss [snd-pcm-oss]
snd-card-es1938
snd-es1938 [snd-card-es1938]
snd-pcm [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-es1938]
snd-timer [snd-pcm]
snd-mixer [snd-mixer-oss snd-es1938]
snd snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-mixer-oss snd-card-es1938
snd-es1938 snd-es1938 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mixer]
soundcore [emu10k1 snd]
So I'm not really sure where to start - I'm unfamiliar with the rmmod and
insmod commands, although their intended uses seem pretty straightforward.
Also, just looking at the list above, I'm not sure what I would use those
commands on...can you give me some hints? Help me out, and then I promise,
it's back to the newbie list for me until I learn more of these commands!
