Anyone know what I should do? How do I deactivate it to unload it? And is there any other way to uninstall it? This is to get alsa-mixer to work, thanks.

i would use modconf, uninstall and install the one you like.

#modconf

i did before the post. but it wasnt working. The funny thing is that now I rebooted and my sound is working perfectly. It's awesome but strange... i updated discovery before i turned it off and I think it was that. I should have tried that before. Thanks though

there is a difference between discover1 and discover. the latter uses the alsa modules.

yup and the discover2 made me happy
