The Skype folks were giving you file references for the Debian OS. In Debian, /etc/modprobe.d has a bunch of files. Alsa-base is the one they were referencing, but I normally put any changes I want to make in another file, which as default is empty, and named "sound".
Back to Fedora: The file that is used for all this stuff in Fedora is /etc/modprobe.conf.
This is not correct -- take a look at modprobe(8) and modprobe.conf(5), Fedora has exactly the same configuration as Debian (I know, I used both). I have here all my files in /etc/modprobe.d and everything works like a charm. The only caveat is (both at Debian and here) that when there is /etc/modprobe.conf modprobe takes configuration from there, and only if it isn't present it goes to individual files in /etc/modprobe.d. Remove your /etc/modprobe.conf (of course, compare its content with the content of /etc/modprobe.d files first) and files in /etc/modprobe.d will be taken into consideration.

Have you got some reason for starting a flame war here???
Skype told Karl to edit a file in /etc/modprobe.d. There is no such directory in Fedora. I was simply trying to make him aware that the file to edit was referenced differently in Fedora. In the case of Fedora the file is /etc/modprobe.conf for the 2.6 kernel as you well know.
Why all the heat. Havn't you got anything better to do????
Nigel.
btw. I do use both Debian, and Fedora distro's.
