Team: I inherited a newish box with an Intel Desktop Board D845GLAD2 motherboard.
I'm trying to figure out what to do about audio . . . In installed from my woody CD, let dselect get the basic system up to current woody, and then added lines for unstable to sources.list and changed my default-release to unstable in apt.conf. Then I let dselect take me to unstable. I then installed gnome-desktop-environment, openoffice, evolution, etc. I mounted my old external HD with my homedir, and voila, new revs all working great with my configs. I couldn't be more pleased. And gnome is running fine (1.7ghz Celeron with 256mb RAM). But I never did anything about audio. There's a little speaker in the upper-right hand corner of the gnome desktop with a line through it . . . the intel.com web-site says that the D845GVAD2 has AC 97 audio with the SigmaTel STAC 9750/66 codec. Googling has produced no meaningful matches, and www.alsa-project.org doesn't list support for anything beyond the i820 chipset. So what should I do about Audio? I assume I install ALSA, with support for some audio hardware interface, add myself to the audio group, log out and back in, and then gnome magically has audio support? I've done over a dozen debian installs, but all were servers except my old desktop, which had a really ancient SB LIVE that I never cared about, so I've never dealt with audio before . . .
