[ale] Debian sound part II

[Jay Loden]

Quick update, I found this in dmesg just now: 

ALSA sound/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:1794: AC'97 0 does not respond - RESET
ALSA sound/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:1802: AC'97 0 access is not valid [0x0], 
removing mixer.
ALSA sound/pci/ali5451/ali5451.c:1895: ali mixer creating error.
ALSA sound/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:1794: AC'97 0 does not respond - RESET
ALSA sound/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:1802: AC'97 0 access is not valid [0x0], 
removing mixer.
ALSA sound/pci/ali5451/ali5451.c:1895: ali mixer creating error.

Anyone know what this is?  I'm guess I'm going to need to go hack around 
in /etc/modprobe.d  or something, but I'm not familiar with it.
