I get this also trying to "install" a USB sound card. It tries to
install a module that is already loaded and fails. If I unplug the sound
card and remove all of the sound modules and then try to install the
card I get an error that the card can't be found. Can't install with it
plugged in or unplugged. Go figure.

Perhaps the people that maintain the sound card part of YaST can fix the
program to check if the module is already installed instead of only
trying to load it and failing because it is already loaded. Seems more
logical to me.
