Funny, I found an /etc/modprobe.d/sound again. I removed it, as I put your lines in /etc/modprobe.conf. (I discovered this when alsasound start said "starting sound driver" twice). [root@localhost etc]# service alsasound stop Shutting down sound driver: done [root@localhost etc]# service alsasound start Starting sound driver: snd-hda-intel done /usr/sbin/alsactl: load_state:1236: No soundcards found... I also tried passing model=asus and model=acer. Thanks very much for your time.
