Hello,
I've decided to write a help-wanted message after 2 weeks of fighting
against my soundcard, without success.
I've a Debian installed on a PC based on intel's D845BG motherboard
(i845 chipset), having audio integrated on-board.
I've recompiled my 2.4.18 kernel _with_ sound support (as a module), but
with _no_ kernel soundcard selected. Instead, I've compiled ALSA
0.9.0beta12, created .deb packages, and installed everything.
When I try to 'modprobe' the ALSA snd-intel8x0 module (having
'soundcore' loaded), it refuses to load. The output is:
---------------------------------------------------------
#modprobe -v snd-intel8x0

I've looked at the ALSA site's soundcard matrix, and I've not seen any
reference to the i845 chipset. Moreover, a look into the 'intel8x0'
module source code reveals no reference to the above controller
identifiers, so I'm realizing that ALSA does not yet support this
chipset. Am I right? Must I lose all hope?
Thanks in advance.
Orestes.
