The modules are still in use, because something somewhere is writing to /dev/audio or one of the other /dev sound devices. lsof should show you what. If you're running KDE, all bets are off, cause i'm sure its breaking some law of physics somewhere. > In the meanwhile, it appears as though I'm gonna need to reboot the box (after > removing the sound module references from /etc/modules/default) to unload > this driver. Actually, removing it from /etc/modules/default (which is a caldera-ism, rather than the standard /etc/modules.conf) might help. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L.
