When I did that at the time, it did indicate that it was stopping the
driver. That was only once though. Now I am unable to replicate the "ALSA
driver already running" message. When I do a cold start and then do
/etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound start, I am back to getting what I got before any
driver updates:

Starting sound driver snd-hdsp
/lib/modules/2.4.22-6.ll.rh90/kernel/sound/snd-hdsp.o: init_module: No such
device
/lib/modules/2.4.22-6.ll.rh90/kernel/sound/snd-hdsp.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.22-6.ll.rh90/kernel/sound/snd-hdsp.o failed
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.22-6.ll.rh90/kernel/sound/snd-hdsp.o: insmod snd-hdsp
failed
                                                  [FAILED]

In other words, I get absolutely nothing (and therefore every day looks more
like the right time to give up quickly on the Linux experiment and stick
with Windows....)

During booting the text messages already indicated a failure related to the
sound. The text scrolls too quickly to read it but one can see that it says
to be looking for an RME Hammerfall but that no card is found

Here is what I get when doing /sbin/lsmod

Anything suspicious, please let me know....
Any other suggestions, please let me know....
Any thoughts on other dumb things that I could be doing wrong, no matter how
simple?

Thanks in advance,
