How do I tell Debian what the correct soundcard is?



 

Debian Sarge, 2.6.8 kernel, running on a PC (Athlon processor, MCI KT3 motherboard with onboard sound from a Realtek ALC 650 chip – ie AC97).

 

For some reason, immediately after boot, if I start up alsamixer it thinks it’s working with a totally different soundcard (a Brooktree Bt 878, if it matters).  No sound, obviously.  There never has been such a soundcard on the system If I run alsaconf, it finds the correct soundcard OK, and sound works fine.  Until I boot again, when it reverts.

 

Can someone point this Debian newbie in the direction of how to change this so that the correct soundcard is found at boot?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Phil
