Another search on Goggle finally found something, but I'm not sure I
like it. My card shows up in "lspci -v" as...
00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)
Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 0372
Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
Memory at d0400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
alsamixer shows...
Card: HDA ATI SB
Chip: Realtek ALC272X
One solution I've seen involves modprobing the sound driver with a
parameter. Problem is I've been using kernel-mode alsa for years and
I'm an absolute newbie on "alsa-driver". alsa-driver is keyworded
~amd64 but I'm desparate enough to try it. Maybe even desparate enough
to try the other solution, namely revert to OSS.
If I want to keyword alsa-driver and install it, I assume that I have
to remove all kernel support for sound, i.e in "make menuconfig"...

Is that correct? Also, what should I specify in ALSA_CARDS in
/etc/make.conf ?
