To make matters worse, I downloaded and ran the unload.gz and now I don't have sound at all on my system, was trying to debug it and looks like now the system does not have the sound card installed at all. I got the below link with information about my sound setup with wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=5309542fe43b06ba0c25d899769b153a42baee94 I am way out of my depth here...
