My original contribution didn't say anything about 'hangs' or disabling the
sound card.
My problem was that after a routine update I lost sound and doing a 'aplay -l'
returned 'no sound card'
I tried a couple of things one of which didn't seem to work at all hence the
original report.
I solved my problem following the guidance
at 'https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto'.
I think the key part of this is the
line 'sudo ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel' which points alsa at the
driver and installs your downloaded version alsa.
