(1st) Problem solved.

Frans Ketelaars noted that I had two OSS/Free modules loaded (i810_audio and
ac97_codec). He recommended removing them. I did that (with rmmod) and then
was able to successfully load the snd-intel8x0. After that the install
proceeded without a hitch. Thanks for the feedback Frans.


One add-on question: I can play sound through the built-in PC speaker now
and control the volume using alsamixer. However, the system bell (beep)
remains very faint and is not affected by the mixer settings. I need to be
able to boost the level of this beep and would like to do so using the
internal speaker. Does anyone know if/how this can be achieved? 

Note, using the xset command seems to have no affect on the bell volume
either.
