libkmod, as described at [1], is a "set of tools to  handle  common  tasks  with
Linux kernel modules  like  insert,  remove,  list,  check  properties,  resolve
dependencies and aliases".  This is just a total guess, but I can  suppose  that
lspci uses it to convey which kernel modules are being used by each PCI  device.

Can you post the full command and output?  Are you getting  a  particular  error
message/number, such as the one at [2]?  Please, whenever you encounter an error
like this, be as *verbose as (reasonably) possible* when asking for help. If you
don't provide enough information for an effective triage, many watchers of  this
list will just ignore your query.

It's probably nothing to do with your sound card.  It just sounds like an  issue
with lspci. Please provide the requested information.

(P.S.  The subject has nothing to do with the content.  I suggest changing it to
something more appropriate, along the lines of  "lspci  cannot  load  libkmod"?)
