Package:alsa-base
Version: 1.0.13-2

I've an ATI audio card on my Acer Aspire 3053WXMi laptop, that uses a
Intel chipset. Debian Etch loads the modules for this card
automatically, but it can't see my audio card. I've tried to use
alsaconf, but the problem is the same. See below for more
informations:
