Normally, with other distro, I 've only to run
sndconfig , which detects the card.
Unfortunately, with sarge, the soundcore is called
soundcore.ko, while sndconfig searches for
soundcore.o and even if you rename it the problem
remains ???!!!
the detection is automatic with the anacondaz
installer, I have sent a message ( " why not anaconda"
) I hope that the debian developpers keep in mind that
the most users of debian and linux in general use a
graphics, workstation and other multi media in PC's.
John Summerfield sent a very good answer , thank you
John.
