I do not understand why the blacklist snd-hda-intel line or *noALSA exist

For sure (youtube videos worked). Are the *noALSA sensible? Should I just comment out the blacklist snd-hda-intel and reboot as a test? How could those noALSA be present? Something I did somehow? I have not modified these modprobe.d files by hand aside from commenting out a "blacklist uas" in blacklist.conf for a Hitachi Touro that temporarily helped with a Hitachi Touro USB drive for a while (but is now supported in 12.04 so the uas blacklist is unneeded). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1035474 Title: [Asus P5Q3 deluxe] PCI/internal sound card not detected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1035474/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
