There are probably modules already loaded in memory causing the error you
are seeing.
You need to first unload the memory resident modules...
Try
# lsmod
to list them.
Unload all sound related modules...
I.E.
# rmmod soundcore
etc. Make sure you get the MPU module(s) too. You need to remove them all
for soundconf to work properly.
If you are getting an error message while attempting to remove one, then it
is likely that you need to first remove a child module first, and try the
same one again.
Afterwards try running soundconfig again.
