Gentlemen,

Does anyone has any idea on how to load sound modules in order?
Custom kernel is 2.4.21-9.EL, the sound module is trident.

When login to Gnome, sound does not work, lsmod shows the required drivers loaded. I have to "rmmod trident ac97_codec soundcore", then "modprobe trident" and the sound will work.

Typically, they will load in the order specificed in

/etc/modules .

I'm not sure if that answers your question. Let me know if I need to be more specific.

Thanks for your reply, Wolven.

Do you mean /etc/modules.conf?
This is part of the /etc/modules.conf:
=====================================================
alias sound-slot-0 trident
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 || :
=====================================================

I tried to add the rmmod/modprobe in the /etc/rc.d/rc.local to fix this problem. But I wonder is there any ways to control the loading of the sound module, or is there any conf files I should look at?

My fault. Look in

/etc/modules

Here's what mine looks like, for example:
