And that tells us that running Pulseaudio (or alsa-base post-install script) requests to load such kernel modules. > How can I make alsa/pulse remember my card after purge/reinstall? It's simple. Make your laptop enter this 'broken' state, in which no soundcard is 'found'. Execute /sbin/lsmod, redirect its output to some file. Make your laptop enter 'correct' state, execute /sbin/lsmod again, redirect the output to some other file. Compare two outputs, put the difference in /etc/modules. Since such approach is much of a band-aid - expect the things to break again once you'll upgrade to next Debian version. Reco
