Athlon64:/dev# ls adsp*

Athlon64:/proc/asound# cat cards

Athlon64:/proc/asound# 

Aha!  I'm betting that's the problem ;-D

Athlon64:/proc/asound# lspci -n | grep 0401
0000:00:04.0 0401: 10de:0059 (rev a2)
Athlon64:/proc/asound#

Athlon64:/proc/asound# modinfo snd-intel8x0|grep -i 10de             
alias:          pci:v000010DEd000000EAsv*sd*bc*sc*i*
alias:          pci:v000010DEd000000DAsv*sd*bc*sc*i*
alias:          pci:v000010DEd0000006Asv*sd*bc*sc*i*
alias:          pci:v000010DEd000001B1sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
Athlon64:/proc/asound# 

So, it looks like the problem is that my sound card is not being
detected.

How would I get Debian to detect the sound card?
