Hi, Nah - it's still there :( lsmod gives: snd_via82xx 25636 0 snd_mpu401_uart 8064 1 snd_via82xx snd_pcm 97160 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_via82xx,snd_ens1371 snd 61572 13 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event,snd_seq,snd_via82xx,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_ens1371,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_ac97_codec **Stop press** Okay figured it out: the line I needed was install snd_via82xx /bin/true I.e. you need the snd_ prefix Cheers, Jon Anders Johansson wrote:

Hi Anders,
Thanks for your suggestion - not sure if it worked though? You guessed right :) SuSE 9.1, kernel 2.6.5-7.151-default
I edited modprobe.conf.local as you suggested, and typed depmod. To test this I then ran /etc/init.d/alsasound stop/start, here's the output:
anat0005:/etc/init.d # ./alsasound start Starting sound driver: ens1371 Message from syslogd@anat0005 at Tue Apr 5 10:51:04 2005 ... anat0005 kernel: Disabling IRQ #12 ens1371 via82xx done Restoring the previous sound setting done
I'm not sure if this the behaviour you expect to see?
Actually it is. The question is do you see the via82xx driver module if you run 'lsmod'
The above just says that the sound subsystem tries to load the driver. Your edit of modprobe.conf.local should sneak in behind that, so to speak, and disable the module forceably
If you find the right file in /etc/sysconfig/hardware and delete it, you should get rid of even the text 'via82xx' when you restart alsasound
You might want to check a mixer (volume setting) program to see if it can see your ensoniq, maybe it's just a volume setting that makes it silent?!
P.s. One of the things I have found necessary to get sound working on an identical machine is to add pci=noacpi to the boot command. Is this screwing things up??
It shouldn't. If your motherboard can't handle acpi for your old sound card, then it won't be able to handle it for your new sound card either
