How do I remove/unload isapnp?

I suspect that isapnp may be conflicting with the 5.9c ALSA drivers I'm trying to load. How do I configure the system so that I save my configuration files, but isapnp doesn't run? I'm hoping that ALSA can't configure the drivers because isapnp already activated the card. However, if I'm wron
