Already disabled. I had problems with them with my last motherboard 
using its VIA AC97 onboard sound. Either way, I still can't hear audio 
if I am not in X with play and speaker-test commands. :( They used to 
work on my old motherboard setup.

Speaking of hardware swap, was I supposed to reset something?
