[linux-audio-user] Alsa problems with nforce2

[bryce]

I have to start with this question, is the sound card attached to the 
motherboard?

Peronally i don't believe that the nvidia2 chipset was packaged with an 
intel sound card (i could be wrong here, i've never used that chipset). 
A good way to detect the sound card would be to boot up with a knoppix 
CD and see what it finds( i use that on all foriegn hardware computers 
so i know what i'm dealing with).

If i'm totally wrong, and you do have an intel sound card, please feel 
free to tar & feather me... i've earned it.
