I know they're connected since I assembled the computer. The sound is
integral to the Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe MB: (from the MB manual)
SoundMAX ADI AD1988B 8-channel CODEC
Supports Jack Sensing, Enumeration, Multi-Streaming, and
Jack-Retasking Technology.
Optical and Coaxial S/PDIF Out interfaces.
This is all goblygook to me; my current box has a SB16.
The CM-Stacker case connectors for the front-panel sound jack can use
either Azailia HD audio or AC97 and the MB is the same, selected within
the bios. I have it set for the HD audio (since I don't know any better
and figured HD is a good thing). I can try switching this over to AC97.
I have poked around aptitude and have selected alsa-player-common,
alsa-player-text, and gnome-alsamixer.
Note that I don't run gnome. I have been using icewm since my current
box has a 486.
Thanks for your help.
Doug.
