I've taken time off from work to reinstall the Debian squeeze properly
without inheriting old garbage. I've currently got a Audigy 1 card
installed, and a mike produces sound in makes a speaker. I reinstalled
wine-1.2.3 and Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10.

Following your second suggestion, I also disabled the Azalia codec
(onboad sound chip) in BIOS.

I still get the error message that NaturallySpeaking is unable to find
a mmedia device. Am I correct to assume this means that
NaturallySpeaking is not seeing the bus? 

Lspci reports seeing the Audigy. I assume this means that the card is on
the bus.

Audigy is the sole device for sound, and when alsamixer is
started, it displays the name of the card. I assume this means there
is no other sound device on the bus to compete.

lsmod now shows what is to be expected with the Audigy card. The
snd_emu10k1 module is used by snd_emu10k1_synth. This means that the
card has a driver loaded.

Initially if I happen to have a terminal open, I got the message when
starting NaturallySpeaking: "fixme: mountmgr: harddisk_ioctl unsupported
ioctl 560000". Pursuing that in Google only led to suggestions to
install vcrun5. I installed winetricks, but it only offers vc2005express
and vc2005trial, not a vcrun5, 6, or 8.  In any case, these two are for
Visual C++ and so I doubt they are relevant.  Also, the fixme message no
longer appears.

I also went to http://download.microsoft.com/.../vcredist_i86.exe and
installed it. This also seems to have installed a Visual C library,
which seems irrelevant and had no effect.
