Hi,

I cannot configure my sound card well. I have the following hardware:

[    0.000000] DMI: FUJITSU SIEMENS SCENIC P / SCENICO P/D1740, BIOS
5.00 R1.00.1740                  01/19/2004

and this audio card:

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM
(ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)

If I play a youtube video, then some software shows that there is
sound output, but my speakers do not emit anything. I checked my
speakers and they do work otherwise.

My ALSA output is below. How can I fix this problem?
