Hardware - Compaq evo N610c
Soundcard - Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio
Controller (rev 02)
Debian Release - Sarge
Kernel - 2.6.13.2
Ran alsaconf and selected the:
intel8x0 Intel Corp. 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev02)
card, and had it modify the /etc/modprobe.d/sound file. It completes
successfully with:
========================================================================
Running update-modules...
Loading driver...
Setting up ALSA...done.
Setting default volumes...
===============================================================================
Now ALSA is ready to use.
For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.
Have a lot of fun!
=======================================================================
I next ran alsamixergui, it shows card as 'dummy', hmmm not sure that is
supposed to be dummy; but haven't found anything in /usr/share/doc/alsa to
indicate this is bad or how to change. Anyway I increased the master
volume to maximum.
However no sound yet.

This sound card worked fine out of the box with woody/2.4.20.
One other clue is when I attempt to run alsamixergui as a non-root user I get
a popup window saying:
"alsamixer: function sound_ctl_open failed for default: Permission denied"
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
