[vox-tech] Fwd: sound card doesn't work on Debian

[Peter Jay Salzman]

yeah.  you generally have to subscribe to mailing lists before you can post
to them.

from your output, i see that the sound infrastructure is loaded (soundcore)
but i don't see any soundcard/soundchip drivers.

i'm very unfamiliar with debian supplied kernels because i've always
compiled my own, but i'll try to help.

can you show the output of:

   $ locate '/sound/pci/' | intel

also, show the output of:

   $ ls /lib/modules

and:

   $ uname -a
