How can I completely disable audio drivers and services in my CentOS7
system?
This system is a server that will never run any audio applications. The
problem is, I can't disable the audio device in my BIOS, so the system
finds it in the PCI device list and configures it on each boot.
Yes, I know I can blacklist specific device driver modules, but I've got
a minimum of 11 audio-related kernel modules loaded on a default C7
configuration, and untold dbus baggage to go with them
So.. what can I do to have CentOS7 completely ignore the audio hardware
it finds?
If I'm not mistaken, audio hardware is one source of entropy for the
kernel.
How can it contribute to entropy without a microphone attached?
Is it causing a problem?
Only to the extent that the resources used to support the audio
subsystem could be allocated to services that are actually used.
