Howdy,...
i own acer 5102wlmi and im unable to start the sound system :
[...]
im using
kernel Linux debian 2.6.8-12-amd64-k8-smp #1 SMP Mon Jul 17 00:17:20 UTC
2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux
when i start alsaconf i get no supported pci card.
i have installed alsa-utils alsa-base and alsa-oss
Your kernel version suggests that you run Sarge. The version of alsa in
Sarge might be too old to support your hardware. Please post the output
of "lspci | grep -i audio" to let us know which soundcard is used. (That
has higher chances of success than hoping that someone will know it
directly from the model number of the laptop.)

I have the same laptop and the same problem.
The only difference is that i have the kernel 2.6.19rc2.
lspci | grep -i audio :
00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01)
I tried to compile alsa for myself because i think i have to use a newer
alsa. so i downloaded the 1.0.13rc3 and did the following:
I don't have this card myself, but my 2.6.18 kernel sources suggest that
it is supported:
$ awk '/MODULE_SUPPORTED/,/MODULE_DESCRIPTION/' /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18/sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c
MODULE_SUPPORTED_DEVICE("{{Intel, ICH6},"
"{Intel, ICH6M},"
"{Intel, ICH7},"
"{Intel, ESB2},"
"{Intel, ICH8},"
"{ATI, SB450},"
"{ATI, SB600},"
"{ATI, RS600},"
"{VIA, VT8251},"
"{VIA, VT8237A},"
"{SiS, SIS966},"
"{ULI, M5461}}");
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Intel HDA driver");
AFAIK, alsa in the 2.6.18 kernel sources is the released version 1.0.13
already and hence should be newer than 1.0.13rc3 (the 3rd release
candidate for this version). Maybe it is better to try getting the sound
to work with the released 2.6.18 kernel than with a release candidate
for 2.6.19.
What happens if you run "modprobe snd_hda_intel"? Do you get error
messages? If you use udev, are /dev/snd, /dev/sndstat or /dev/mixer
created?

oh yeah!!!!!!!!
i don't know why, i don't know how, but now the sound is working! :)
i have just rebooted for the second time...
but you're right, my original error was not invoking the intel-module in
the kernel.
thank you so much!
