Summary:                    unable to configure sound card
Description: 
I'm having problems configuring my sound card with alsa, here are the
details:
the sound card is NeoMagic 256AV (NM2200) located onboard a Compaq
Presario 1920.
I'm currently running Knoppix 4.0 hdd installed (kernel 2.6)

here's lspci -vv outputs on the cards:
0000:01:00.1 Multimedia audio controller: Neomagic Corporation NM2200
[MagicMedia 256AV Audio] (rev 20)
        Subsystem: Compaq Computer Corporation MagicMedia 256AV Audio
Device on Durango
        Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop-
ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B+
        Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort-
<TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
        Interrupt: pin B routed to IRQ 10
        Region 0: Memory at f4800000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4M]
        Region 1: Memory at f4200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
        Capabilities: <available only to root>

I wouldn't have addressed you unless I've already tried everything:
I've tried the solution of the same problem regarding HP Omni 4150 with
the same card.

I used alsaconf and it tried to load snd-nm256, after loading it crashed,
dmesg suggested loading it with force_ac97=1 switch but once i did it the
system crashed (on 3 differet linux installations)

I did a legacy scan using alsaconf for all legacy drivers.

I 'modprobe'ed for hours on every imaginable option (ad1848, sb, cs423x,
etc..)

I've edited the modules.conf and manually defined the dma and irq

I removed alsa completly and re-install it.

I had debian with 2.4 kernel installed and i've upgraded to 2.6

I changed the distro from debian to Knoppix (kinda same thing but...)

anyway, you get the point..

can you please assist??I'm having problems configuring my sound card with
