I'm trying to get Debian configured on my laptop, and I'm unable to get
sound properly configured. I've read all of the ALSA troubleshooting
guides, and they say, in short, that if you don't have a 0 card listed
in /proc/asound/cards, you're in trouble.
That's where I am:
If I unload my snd_intel8x0 driver, I have no cards detected (no
surprise). In that mode, there are no card subdirectories in
/proc/asound, as there should be. When I `modprobe snd_intel8x0`, the
driver inserts properly and then the following is seen:

Running `alsaconf` runs fine, detects the hardware, I allow it to
configure the /etc/modprobe.d/sound file, but it still does not use the
0 index!
Obviously, without a zero card, nothing works right - the amixer, and
alsamixer all complain about no devices.
Any ideas? I'm currently running debian unstable, with a pretty-much
standard 2.6.18 kernel, taken direct from the default 2.6.8 config,
only building for the PentiumM platform as the difference.
TIA
