this is the outcome of all of it, I just pasted everything in terminal:
  seth@seth-laptop:~$ kill $(lsof -t /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*)
lsof: status error on /dev/dsp*: No such file or directory
kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ...
or kill -l [sigspec]
seth@seth-laptop:~$ sudo modprobe -r $(lsmod |grep
 > ^snd |awk '{print $1}') && sudo modprobe snd-cs4231
bash: :s^snd |awk '{print $1}') && sudo modprobe snd-cs4231:
substitution failed
