PulseAudio

[Thomas Milne]

The system does appear to see the soundcard:

scribe at scribe14:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                     HDA NVidia at 0xfe024000 irq 22
scribe at scribe14:~$ lspci | grep -i audio
00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)

but dmesg seems to show nothing:

scribe at scribe14:~$ dmesg | grep -i "sound|audio|snd"
scribe at scribe14:~$
