I fought this battle several months ago on another machine and was
amazed that FC could NEVER find the soundcard but KNOPPIX ALWAYS found
it. I can't remember who put me on the trail but I wound up rebuilding
the alsa-utils package so that alsaconf does not get removed after it's
compiled. That chore outta the way, running /sbin/alsaconf takes care of
the heavy lifting and there is sound.
As previously suggested, a modern sound care would be better but I just
HATE to throw stuff away when it still works.
