I don't think it is hardware-specific. A system without alsa-base.conf in /etc/modprobe/ (i.e., a system with alsa-base purged or never installed) can easily end up with the PC speaker as card 0, so sound produced by various apps on such a bare-bones system would go to the PC speaker instead of the sound card and sound tinny. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
