CT-5880, didn't work without alsaconf, but didn't work with alsaconf either. Problem was AC97 codec invalid ID 0, or not readable, or not responding. So error messages make it look like defective hardware, and it's not just ALSA or Linux but DOS and the BSDs as well. Now I have a startech.com 4-channel PCI sound card on order, advertising Linux and DOS compatibility, so I've given up on getting this on-motherboard sound to work.
