Hello all,

I'm running Debian (mostly stable) with kernel 2.4.20 and I can't get
the kernel to find the sound card.

The error messages I've been getting are:

16:12 /etc/alsa/modutils # /etc/init.d/alsa start
Starting ALSA sound driver (version 0.9.4): intel8x0-failed no sound cards defined.
Restoring ALSA mixer settings... failed.

Indeed:

16:27 /proc/asound > cat cards 
--- no soundcards ---
16:27 /proc/asound > 

Messages at /var/log/kern.log are:

kernel: Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 0.24, 14:48:21 Jun 19 2003
kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:1f.5 to 64

kernel: i810_audio: AC'97 codec 0 Unable to map surround DAC's (or DAC's not present), 
total channels = 2

But later in the same file:

kernel: Intel ICH soundcard not found or device busy

Any ideas of what to do?
Francisco.

The rest of my ALSA configuration follows:

 
The modules.conf I have at /etc/alsa/modutils is
