Thanks, again.

You are exactly correct. I am using a Thinkpad R60. I apologize for not
clarifying that earlier.

This is the output from lsmod | grep snd_hda_intel

snd_hda_intel          18964  0
snd_hda_codec         157616  1 snd_hda_intel
snd_pcm                89864  3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd                    55268  6
snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
snd_page_alloc         10632  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm

I don't know how to interpret it. Does the '0' in the first line indicate
it's not loaded?

From the BIOS, it appears that the internal modem is enabled. Restarting
ALSA did not seem to help.

I learned a lot from the tutorials, but the only other tangible suggestion I
found seemed to paraphrase to 'compile snd_hda_intel' into the kernel. Is
that my next best attempt?

Hi,

would I be right in guessing that this is a relatively new computer,
possibly an IBM/Lenovo one, possibly a Thinkpad T60?  Am I way off the
mark
here?
        http://www.pc.ibm.com/ww/thinkpad/x-t.html

It seems possible the PCI IDs database doesn't have an entry for this
sound
card in edubuntu 6.06 so hotplug is failing to autodetect it.

If the computer is indeed a thinkpad T60 series, then these tutorials
should be relevant.

http://www.sbellon.de/t60.html

http://thomasgersdorf.com/linux/index.php/Gentoo_Linux_on_IBM_ThinkPad_T60#Sound

In particular, the last ones says:
  "It's important to enable modem-support in BIOS else the hda-intel
driver
   will complain and ALSA works not until the restart of
   /etc/init.d/alsasound"

They all seem to be suggesting that you need the snd-hda-intel driver.  If
you run:
        lsmod | grep snd-hda-intel
you can check if that module is already loaded.  If it's not, you could
try
loading it with:
        sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel
and see does your sound card become available.

You might reboot and check the BIOS has modem support enabled and/or try:
        sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart

It appears from this that alsa is at least aware of the sound card. It
suggests the system is already aware to use the snd-hda-intel driver.

It would be interesting to see if edubuntu 6.10 makes any difference.  You
could try the live cd just to check.  It has a more up-to-date set of
pciids.

Looking at the up-to-date pciid database, you can see:
