Comment 26 for bug 1296373

I had the no "sound card found" issue on an IBook G4 and tried multiple combinations of changes to /etc/modules, blacklists, and modprobes to no avail. All resulted in alsamixer not finding a sound card. Then I located the proposed patch in:

I verified that my white IBook G4 soundcard was Device 38, and applied the patch. It was an immediate success. On reboot, I had a sound card, alsamixer and alsaplayer were happy, Gmerlinmixer worked with both headphones and speakers (auto-detect), etc. The proposed patch worked for my PPC.
