posted at knoppix net but they take too long to moderate

Hi.  Using Knoppix LiveCD 6.7 and sound worked once last year on this Asus pc and now it just happened to work again.

So I need to document all the settings so I can manually configure them the next time I want sound and it fails to auto configure.

I listed a few areas I thought of here [URL="http://techlinkcorner.blogspot.com/2012/07/suddenly-sound-worked-on-knoppix-livecd.html"]my little link saver site[/URL]

mobo is Asus k8u-x

and the line from lspci is here:

How would I manually duplicate the current working condition?
