Linux 10.0 is a few decades down the road, if they keep the same pace.
Currently we have Linux 2.6.

Try alsamixer.

AFAIK the main sound functionality comes from the VIA VT8237 south
bridge, and it is sort-of supported by the VIA 8233 sound driver
(someone mentioned something like that in another thread on the K8V
(or Athlon 64 MBs in general)).

I have a SB Audigy (without suffix, rev 03), and the things I have
tried work (I don't create music, though); however, I guess this card
is no longer sold (maybe used).

Followups set to comp.os.linux.hardware.
