Thanks Lamar.
Somehow WBEL keeps inserting the following three lines into /etc/modules.conf even though it appears not to have the trident module to load.

alias sound-slot-0 trident
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

I just download the alsa sound driver of alsa website, compile and load it.  It works, but the error of not able to load trident driver in soundcard setting is still there.  How can I get rid of that error message and let the new driver load after reboot?
