audio popping sound in kubuntu 9.1?

[newbie1]

I switched yesterday to Kubuntu from ubuntu and I had the same problem audio popping sound there and it was an easy fix.

Go to root folder-etc-modprob.d-# sign in front of the word options on the last line.

I tried to fix Kubuntu the same way and it's saying I don't have write access? How do I get write access to fix this error?

Thanks.

Use sudo:

sudo pico /etc/modprobe.d

(or replace pico with your favorite text editor, but if it's a GUI, use kdesudo in place of sudo.)

Or, you may not have write permissions at all, in which case you need to do

sudo chmod u+w /etc/modprobe.d

and then you should be able to edit the file using the method above.
