Sound configuration failure in debian amd64...

[Tapas Das <tapas8791@gmail.com>]

Hello
this isTapas Das.....
I am a debian user for the last three years....first it was 32-bit
debian squeeze 6.0.0...
and now using amd64 version on P8H61-MLX motherboard (ASUS) with intel
core i3 processor.

The sound could not be configured....it was not configured just after
installation.....nor could be done by installing various libraries and
development packages available at the repositories. I am trying these
things for several months, but no good.

The output generated by 'hwinfo' as superuser is as follows :

root@debian-1:/home/tapas# hwinfo --sound
