[PlanetCCRMA] snd-intel8x0 loaded but no sound on FC3

[Sam Williams]

Pierre,

I just reconfigured/updated and moved the computer.  Seeing your thread,
I tested, found no sound--panicked.  Followed your testing proc--no joy.
Then, plugged headphones directly into sound card--beautiful sound.  My
extension cable was bad.  Try all the simple things.  I hope your
solution proves as easy.
