I don't use it presently. It is fairly unlikely I will in the foreseeable future either. It won't be a problem to disable it for the time being (the BIOS doesn't allow me to do that, however). > > > cat /etc/modules.conf | grep snd > > What the hell is that file for. modutils isn't present since ages. Oh, ye olde days ! Well, this laptop's been apt-get upgraded over the years all the way from Sarge, I think (I never did anything weird to it, though). It was usually running Testing being upgraded a few weeks after each Stable got released. So this file may well have been left over at one stage or another. > This file can be deleted completely.

That's never been a problem. Sound works just fine both before and after removing the snd_intel8x0m module.
