I don't know what dmix is; it doesn't seem to exist on my system. Sound hardware is: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) I'm pretty sure I had automatic mixing on my previous system, which also had some sort of Intel sound, although I don't have the info available here ATM.
