[alsa-devel] intel-hd on an intel G33 motherboard

Ok, need to step back in the thread a bit.  Now that we've established
that this is not an Intel manufactured motherboard (not that they make
their own anymore), I need more detailed information on what the OS
see's.  Please run
http://bulletproof.servebeer.com/alsa/scripts/alsa-info.sh and post the
link that it generates.  This will give me a detailed snapshot of your
hardware that I can use for debugging.

I will begin working on this as soon as I get this info.  I hope to get
you enabled this weekend if possible, this year at the latest.  :)

Thanks,

Tobin
