[Cialug] Soyo k7vme / VIA 8233 audio not working on Ubuntu 6.06

[david l goodrich]

Unfortunately, this didn't help.

dlg at pedro:/etc/modprobe.d$ cat blacklist-modem
# Uncomment these entries in order to blacklist unwanted modem
# drivers
# blacklist snd-atiixp-modem
# blacklist snd-intel8x0m
blacklist snd-via82xx-modem
dlg at pedro:/etc/modprobe.d$

reboot, no change.

looks like i'll be filing a bug report at launchpad.net (does
anyone else find the site generally difficult to navigate?)
