Got sound from the Intel device on the system board. Oddly enough there was a plastic cover over the sockets on the chassis back. Pried it off to plug the speaker jack. Here is some further info. Read https://wiki.debian.org/ALSA and followed the Troubleshooting and Checklist sections. root@joule:~# cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [ICH5 ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH5 Intel ICH5 with AD1980 at irq 17 1 [Live ]: EMU10K1X - Dell Sound Blaster Live! Dell Sound Blaster Live! at 0xdf20 irq 22 2 [U0x46d0x807 ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x807 USB Device 0x46d:0x807 at usb-0000:03:08.2-3, high speed 3 [Set ]: USB-Audio - C-Media USB Headphone Set C-Media USB Headphone Set at usb-0000:00:1d.0-2, full speed Mostly consistent with visible hardware. Really just one USB. Odd that the Intel device refers to both ICH4 & ICH5. root@joule:~# alsactl init Found hardware: "ICH4" "Analog Devices AD1980" "AC97a:41445370" "0x1028" "0x0155" Initialize one device?
