Why Can't nvaudio and i810_audio Get Along?

[edabbott]

I'm trying to get the onboard sound working under Slackware 9.0 for an Asus a7n266-vm motherboard.

I've downloaded the driver and done the following:

make

make install

I did this as root and this produced a module called nvaudio just fine with no error messages.

The problem? nvaudio and i810_audio do not seem to like each other.

If I do a:

modprobe -r nvaudio

then:

modprobe i810_audio

loads without error messages.

If I do a

modeprobe -r i810_audio

then:

modprobe nvaudio

loads without error messages.

But If I do one before the other, then modprobe loads the second module with error message. It doesn't matter whether I load nvaudio or i810_audio first; whichever comes second loads with error messages courtesy of modprobe.

I've posted today to comp.os.linux.setup as well with the message title "lspci and modprobe and /etc/modules.conf" for the very same problem.

Any ideas?

Why are you using both modules for the same device? AFAIK you only need one of them...
