[TriLUG] Question about "modprobe: modprobe: Can't locatemod ulesound-slot-0"

[Geoff Purdy]

KDE is configured to use "Autodetect" for the Sound I/O method.  You can go
into the KDE Control Center GUI | Index | Sound | Sound Server | Sound I/O
and select "No audio input/output".  This should prevent the error message
from being generated at KDE login.

HTH,
Geoff
