Comment 2 for bug 218165

I just checked one thing :

patrick@patrick-laptop2:/dev$ cat /dev/sndstat
Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.16 emulation code)
Kernel: Linux patrick-laptop2 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 12:47:45 UTC 2008 x86_64
Config options: 0

Installed drivers:
Type 10: ALSA emulation

Card config:
HDA Intel at 0xfc300000 irq 22

Audio devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG

Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG

Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG

Timers:
7: system timer

Mixers: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG

--------------------------------------

Strange no ????

What does it mean ?
What should I do to enable ?
May be that is the solution, no ?????

Waiting for your answers....

Patrick.
