The correct solution is to blacklist the driver so hotplug and discover don't load it. or you can disable it with 'alias snd-intel8x0m off' in a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ such as nosnd8x0m or whatever you would like. Your method will break the next time you get a kernel upgrade. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
