Hi,
I screwed up my ALSA setup trying to get wireless to work so I'm using the guide at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml to set it back up again. I'm at the step where it tells me:
| Quote: | | Warning: If you had a previous sound setup and there are still non-ALSA sound modules loaded, unload them now. Check with lsmod and use rmmod to unload all sound-related modules on your system. |
The wonders of lsmod gives me:
| Code: | Module Size Used by Tainted: PF
nls_iso8859-1 2780 2 (autoclean)
nls_cp437 4316 2 (autoclean)
vfat 9324 2 (autoclean)
fat 29816 0 (autoclean) [vfat]
floppy 47036 0 (autoclean)
serial 49092 0 (unused)
isa-pnp 28100 0 [serial]
cmpci 25048 1
soundcore 3364 2 [cmpci]
via-rhine 12016 1
mii 2160 0 [via-rhine]
pcmcia_core 44288 0
nvidia 1626688 11
usb-storage 55608 0 (unused)
hid 12468 0 (unused)
uhci 23008 0 (unused)
usbcore 55264 1 [usb-storage hid uhci]
|
but when I try to remove cmpci or soundcore I get "Device or resource busy." How do I find what is using this module so I can kill it and rmmod it?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks |

| You could always remove your alsasound init script or undo whatever you were doing to start it at boot and restart the machine. Or perhaps if you post what your "ps -A" says it will become obvious what process you need to kill. |
