I now finally got around to checking that, and I'm quite somewhat
confused.

As you can see there, I don't have snd_hda_intel loaded, and 
sound more-or-less works. I should have posted my lsmod
right away :( You can find the complete lsmod output at <http://askwar.pastebin.ca/96498>.

Which module might I need to change? I haven't done anything
with position_fix, as I don't use this module.

Thanks a lot,

Alexander Skwar
