I checked, didn't have it there either. Didn't have it in modules, 
either, but I did have just a plain snd-intel8x0 entry there. So I 
remmed out all the entries in modules and restarted, it went away. Then 
I added snd-intel8x0 back to modules and it started working again.

Leaves me free to fight with KDE again. aren't computers fun?
