Yes I have the correct line in modules.conf. After more digging it
appears that I'm not the only one with this problem. I founded this bug
report on sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=487761&group_id=3242&atid=103242
I also tried the ALSA driver (snd-card-via686a). The result: no sound and
no error message in /var/log/message. And yes I have unmuted everything.
