KDE: Version since 2.0

Symptom:

You've got following message in the xconsole window:

modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0

Cause:

Per default KDE 2.0 is testing the system for two sound cards. Because you've just one card (sound-slot-0) installed, the message is appearing that there won't be found a second soundcard and the modul which belongs to, couldn't be loaded.

Solution:

You can ignore the message, because it is not an error message or you can change this in the KDE 2.0 control-center under:

-> Sound
-> Mixer

Here you'll find the Option "Maximum count of tested devices per mixer" which is on the value "2". Change the value to "1" and confirm with "OK".

At the next KDE-Start the message won't occur anymore.
