How to disable sound card in Linux Slackware

usr345 · 12-12-2015, 07:08 PM

I want to disable sound on my Linux Slackware 14.1 machine by unloading the kernel modules responsible for the sound card.

Here are the modules:

Code:

# lsmod | grep snd
snd_intel8x0           23649  2 
snd_ac97_codec         89231  1 snd_intel8x0
snd_pcm                62870  2 snd_ac97_codec,snd_intel8x0
snd_page_alloc          6062  2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
snd_timer              14870  1 snd_pcm
snd                    44159  8 snd_ac97_codec,snd_intel8x0,snd_timer,snd_pcm
soundcore               4318  1 snd
ac97_bus                 834  1 snd_ac97_codec

What commands do I need to run to block the sound modules from loading?

Should work if you get the right module.
