Same for me... I use sound so infrequently that I never notice what change it
is that screws it up.

It doesn't sound the same as miy problem, but I _do_ know that the correct
module is snd_intel8x0, not intel8x0 (somebody else mentioned intel8x0 was
for OSS). Run alsaconf again. In my case, alsaconf always brings it back,
but it won't persist to the next KDE session.
btw, my /proc/*/cards is apparently /proc/asound/cards. I have no idea what
the difference is.
