Every hour or so I see this in /var/log/messages: modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-0-0 kernel: Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 kernel: sb: Creative ViBRA16X PnP detected kernel: sb: ISAPnP reports 'Creative ViBRA16X PnP' at i/o 0x220, irq 5, dma 1, 3 kernel: SB 4.16 detected OK (220) kernel: SB16: Bad or missing 16 bit DMA channel kernel: sb: 1 Soundblaster PnP card(s) found. I'm wondering why the kernel needs sound-service-0-0 module, which fails to load, when my sound works just fine without it, apparently? I am also wondering what is causing "SB16: Bad or missing 16 bit DMA channel" warnings? This is what I have in /etc/modules.conf: alias sound-slot-0 sb post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : Should I remove or change this? I can't remember why I put this in modules.conf nor what it does, any more. :( Thanks, Otis _________________________________________________________________ iVillage.com: Solutions for Your Life Check out the most exciting women's community on the Web http://www.ivillage.com
