I'm a recent convert to Linux after years of Win XX (ab)use.

Almost everything is just fine and the PC is working well apart from some strange messages that appear in a little xconsole window at the bottom of my screen.

It always says;
linux insmod: insmod a module named snd-mixer-oss already exists

Then;
insmod sound-service-0-0 failed

And;
The same message as the first one..

Then;
insmod sound-service-0-3 failed.

I use SuSE 7.2 and can get both system sound and CD sound fine.

Are these messages important? What should I do about them?

I would be grateful of any assistance at all! :confused:

well, i've used suse linux for about 30 minutes in my life. and guess what? it was for the same problem you are having. except there wasn't any sound. the only thing i could come up with is that it's looking for multiple sound cards, and failing if it doesn't find them. if you have sound, i wouldn't worry about it too much.

i could be wrong though.
