back to the task at hand. As previously mentioned, a dist-upgrade broke sound support on this machine. If I kill KDE, and manually remove/re-insert the snd-intel8x0 kernel module sound magically works. However, there is no (known) way for me to do this type of module re-load when KDE is running:
modprobe -r snd_intel8x0 FATAL: Module snd_intel8x0 is in use. I can't seem to figure out what in the heck is using it though... the sound system in KDE is not enabled... Perhaps there is a way to force the re-load of a kernel module? Perhaps there is a setting in KDE that can prevent all of this... I have heard that ALSA is the way to go for sound in linux, but alsaconf always seems to crash KDE / terminal app that i launch it from. Any ideas?
