We already compile and provide snd-intel8x0.ko and snd-ac97-codec.ko
(among a host of prerequisite ALSA kernel modules) in the various
linux-image-2.6.foo packages.

You wouldn't touch udev, actually.

Essentially, if snd_intel8x0 is loaded, is selected as the default sound
driver, and is detected and shown properly with ``asoundconf list'',
then the real issue is a mixer level [elements] one, i.e., "your volumes
are not set properly."

Look at the output from ``amixer''.
