Those old boards perhaps often use AC'97? It's supported by ALSA. BIOS
settings might need a check up, dunno. Google found hits regarding to
issues with pulseaudio and the AC'97, but I suspect that pulseaudio
isn't relevant for the Debian installer.
If Karen should use a more professional sound card, it might be, that it
can't work for the installer, if she can't launch the mixer, so for an
install an onboard device might be the better choice.
You never know, but I agree that it's likely that a hardware speech
synth is less resource hungry, than a soft synth.
