To check do: chkconfig --list or setup -> System Services If sound is running, you can turn it off for the runlevels you use: chkconfig --level 35 sound off would turn off sound for runlevels 3 and 5. See 'man chkconfig.' If sound isn't running as a service, you might try: alias sound-slot-0 null alias sound-service-0-0 null in /etc/modules.conf rather than 'off'. Maybe if modprobe succeeds, it will quit. See 'man modules.conf. Short of a compile with N for the whole sound section, one of the above might work.
