alsaconf can't find any sound hardware. Sound works perfectly under
Win XP. I notice the sound hardware for the nForce 2 chipset (chip is
supposedly called intel8x0) is mentioned explicitly in modules.conf:
# Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0
options snd-intel8x0m index=-2
This is my first experience with ALSA, Sarge, and the 2.6 kernel so
I'm at a loss where to go from here. Any other ideas you have might
be very helpful even if they are slim chances.
Thanks!

Is sound support normally autodetected by the Sarge installer?
I have a dual-boot computer with my first Sarge installation and I
can't get the sound to work. It's onboard sound (nVidia2 chipset) and
it works fine under Win XP. I want to use ALSA and the 2.6.8 kernel.

Hi Shawn,
I had the same problem, and running alsaconf fixed it. Is that too
obvious (i.e., have you already done that)? If not, just run "alsaconf"
from the command line (or an xterm) as root.
Best,
Tim
