1. Load the right driver. First, try to install some 2.4 Kernel image if
you didn't do that already. Probably the 2.2 Kernel won't support your
card. Search the list archive on how to do that. You can read it at
<http://lists.debian.org> or <http://groups.google.com> (Group
linux.debian.user).
2. Add yourself to the audio group.
2. Run lcpci to find out more about your card. There are plenty of AC97
onboard audio chips by different manufacturers like VIA, SIS or Intel.
Find out the name of your chipset. Go to <http://groups.google.com> and
enter the information there together with some words like "linux
driver" or "linux module".
3. After you found out which driver to use, add it to /etc/modules with
some text editor. Or add
alias sound-slot-0 yourdriverhere
to /etc/modutils/aliases and run update-modules.
4. Install some program like kmix (kde) or aumix (command line) to set
the volume for your card. It may be muted by default.
