Only one application can use sound

Hi,
I've done something to my config and now only one application at the time can use sound. It used to be OK.
Configuration: laptop sony vaio
Modules loaded in /etc/rc.conf:

 !snd_pcsp snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore

modules loaded:

snd_hda_codec_hdmi     20368  1 
snd_hda_codec_realtek   225687  1 
snd_hda_intel          19261  3 
snd_pcm_oss            33824  1 
snd_hda_codec          66665  3 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel
snd_hwdep               4919  1 snd_hda_codec
snd_pcm                60311  4 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer              15542  1 snd_pcm
snd_mixer_oss          12783  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd                    43399  13 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mixer_oss
snd_page_alloc          5909  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm
soundcore               5018  2 snd

no idea where to start looking for problems
I've read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Alsa but it does not help much
this problem is not related to any application - all behave the same way: if one takes sound any other is silent
Thanks for help in advance

Re: Only one application can use sound

With regard to ' !snd_pcsp' - you can't blacklist modules in /etc/rc.conf anymore https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mo … acklisting
