[edit] How to get sound working
The sound system has low level drivers (ALSA) and daemons above them that figure out which program should get access first. Today (late 2004 Sarge) things are in transition to using alsa and jack for really quality sound without the problems of the past.
[edit] Sound Hardware notes
- Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CMI8788 [Oxygen HD Audio] AV200(miss identified?) - Xonar DX Asus Virtuoso 100 (rev 2)
The front panel has to be turned off in the mixer in order to work the back connectors!
[edit] What to install
I advise you to use wajig to install packages.
