BTW, here are the contents of /etc/modprobe.conf

[olivares at localhost ~]$ cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 forcedeth
alias scsi_hostadapter sata_nv
alias scsi_hostadapter1 pata_pcmcia
alias scsi_hostadapter2 sata_via
alias scsi_hostadapter3 sata_svw
alias scsi_hostadapter4 sata_vsc
alias scsi_hostadapter5 pata_ali
alias scsi_hostadapter6 pata_amd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-intel8x0 index=0
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0
>/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r
--ignore-remove snd-intel8x0

Notice the above lines

remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0
>/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r
--ignore-remove snd-intel8x0

Thanks,

Antonio
