Hi all,
I can't get sound to work.

uname -r:
2.6.15-1-amd64-k8-smp (Debian Etch)

alsaconf (alsa-base-1.0.10-3) doesn't detect anything but my tuner (bt878 Audio Capture)

although I have this:
hwinfo --sound :

A newbie's question then, how do I make my card seen so alsa will configure it properly ?

Thanks for your time.

whats lsmod? do you have your driver loaded for it? maybe 'modprobe snd-intel8x0'
