2nd UPDATE:

Finally just installed the entire newly-compiled kernel, (reminded me of 
my old days with gentoo) with the only change being snd_hda_intel's 
CONFIG_SND_HDA_RECONFIG set.  Audio works great (Beats Audio).  Really 
wish I knew more about module signing so I could use the "stock" kernel".

I guess I'll probe further sometime with KMOD module compiling to see if 
it will somehow solve the signing issue.
