The problem is it won't let you remove snd-hda-intel because it's being used by other stuff. There is a command to remove it and remove other stuff with it as well. The only problem is getting all the stuff it pulled out back again (of course rebooting will put everything back luckily).

That would be a problem There's probably a better way of doing this but could you type: lsmod | grep -i 'snd-hda-intel' should be able to see what is using it. Modprobe doesn't seem to want to let it be unloaded for some reason. Did that and got this:- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsmod | grep
