lsmod revealed the following:
Module Size Used by
sheep_net 4736 1
mol 31592 1
audio 42964 0 (unused)
dmasound 30148 1
soundcore 3456 3 [audio dmasound]
No amount of ""modprobe dmasound" commands will help. Plus dmasound does
load during the startup sequence.
The audio module saying it is unused seems odd, does that count as an
indicator that something is wrong?
