Making Alsa the Default

haimeltjnfg · 05-02-2004, 11:06 AM

I'm using alsa to run my soundblaster live (emu10k1). Problem is, whenever i turn on my computer, the kernel automatically detects and installs the emu10k1 module. in turn, the init.d alsa script can't load it's drivers for it, because they are already loaded. i want alsa for k3b. is there anyway i can stop the emu10k1 module from loading? (it's not in /etc/modules, /etc/modutils/* or /etc/modules.conf)

I'm running Debian Sarge on 2.4.25custom (what i call my kernels :-))

why dont you remove the module loading from init.d? the emu10k1 module is the driver itself, so you shouldnt completely stop it from loading.

alsa uses the snd-emu10k1 module though, right?

Okay i figured out the script /etc/init.d/discover is running discover-modprobe, which in turn is causing emu10k1 to be loaded. it is also causing usb-ohci and sis900 to be loaded (which is desirable). is there way to have it skip emu10k1, short of recompiling without the emu10k1 module?

answered my own question - /etc/discover-modprobe.conf defines the types of modules to load by default, and specific modules not to load.
