Configures sound doesn't recognize card. I'm hoping the master of motor cycles & the 900 has a quick fix befoe I install.Every thing else looks great on 8.5

My gamix and inxi -F looks like yours. I have had problems installing & with grub. I'll post later. I've also been sidetracked with open source hardware - an Arduino.

Hey, on my 904 I sometimes have to adjust the mixer volume. It sometimes set to zero at first. I generally check alsamixer from terminal before I get to worried about sound.

Might not be you're problem, but it is simple to check.
