After struggling to figure out how I had sound working on a Compaq Armada 1750 until an update broke that, I finally found out why I cannot fix it. I also found out why I could never get sound to work on my Armada 7750MT.
It is because the assclown that maintains the alsa-utils package removed alsaconf from the package, citing its intended purposed as the reason for its removal, see link below. WTF!

So, let me get this straight. The one distribution that heralds itself as the bastion of freedom and stability has removed a tool from a package for reasons other that freedom or stability.
This is fucking ridiculous. An update breaks my sound, and the tool that can fix it was removed on a whim! I guess my coworkers aren't the only people who have been eating paint chips.
