The driver for this card has been removed from the Debian kernel, as it needs binary-only firmware. > am i missing something obvious here? the module list doesn't seem to > have any module related to sound (apart from pcspkr)... Not very surprising. > i'd be really grateful for any help. There are several possibilities: - Buy a different sound card. - Compile your own kernel from kernel.org (*not* from the Debian linux-source-2.6.x package). - Build the driver from the ALSA project. You need the alsa-driver package: ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.17.tar.bz2. Do *not* use Debian's alsa-source package, since that has the firmware removed as well. - Use a Linux distribution that is less picky about legal issues and includes the driver and the firmware in the kernel.
