Hi folks! Is there any way to force the removal of a loaded kernel module? For some reason, my sound just stopped working and all audio programs are saying that they cant open my audio device, and so I was going to try to reload the module for my soundcard, but when I do an rmmod es1370 it says that it is in use (though i'm pretty sure its not.
It's probably being used by another module. Like in this example: Module Size Used by Tainted: PF vmnet 17920 5 vmmon 18228 6 i810_audio 20424 0 soundcore 3460 2 [i810_audio] ac97_codec 9544 0 [i810_audio]I wouldn't be able to rmmod the soundcore and ac97_codec modulse until I first rmmod'd the i810_audio module.
So what does the output of lsmod look like? Kent
