[OLUG] sound

You're doing it the right way, but I think you need to give a better
description; especially on the last line of the first paragraph.

Basically, if you see the modules loaded in `lsmod` then everything that
needs to be loaded _is_ loaded.  It would help alot to have the output of
'lsmod' and the last 20 lines or so of 'dmesg' after repeating another
attempt at loading the drivers and trying to get sound.
