new machine; no sound

[Glenn Holmer]

I just bought a new machine and put Intrepid on it (32-bit), but have no
sound.  It's a quad-core Xeon, with a Super Micro X7DA8 board, and I
took a SoundBlaster Audigy SB1394 from my previous machine and put it in
the new one.  I disabled the onboard AC 97 audio via jumper (verified by
running "asoundconf list" both ways).  Volume is normal, nothing is
muted, etc.

I had a chat with Mr. Google and ended up taking this advice:

but it didn't help.  All the diagnostics show that the sound card is
there (lshw, lspci, etc.) and the PulseAudio Manager looks normal (the
volume meters move when I play a file), but there's no output.  I tested
with headphones plugged directly into the card.  I know the card is
still good because I swapped it back into the previous machine, plugged
headphones into it, and played a .wav file.

I'm confused because all the diagnostics seem to show that the card is
working properly, but I have no output.  Suggestions?
