1. Ubuntu uses "modules.conf" for module option settings only!
"modules.conf" Is created from the files in "the /etc/modutils"
directory when you run "update modules". So do not edit the
"modules.conf" file directly.

2. Modules are loaded automaticly by the kernel, so you shouls not
need to do this manually.

3. How to disable the on-board sound!
The on-board can be disabled in the BIOS of your computer. If the
on-board sound is disabled in your BIOS settings, the kernel will NOT
load the module for the hardware.
