I have a T60 widescreen laptop with this soundcard: Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
That audio device, though supposedly supported, will not work out of the box for many distributions I found out after smashing my head against the wall for some time.
Well, I got it working and filed a bug because the hack shouldn't be necessary: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=222606
I thought I would share in case anyone else has had that problem, and from the looks of it, a lot of folks are running into this. So... this is what I did: 1. I ensured my box has the latest alsa 2. I added these two lines to /etc/rc.local: modprobe -r snd_hda_intel modprobe snd_hda_intel
Reboot and sound should work.

Part of the problem is that it is a chip set that can be configured several ways. From reading the ALSA list, it looks like the only way to tell is to do a lookup of the specific machine to know what is where. If your machine is not listed, you get a limited "default" setup that usual works.

Do you have to do this every time you power up the machine? Did you try just doing the modprobe commands and trying sound?

This didn't seem to work for me. I have a Dell XPS M1210 laptop with this sound card in it.

As a point of clarification, my sound card is a Soundblaster AWE64.
I still haven't been able to get my soundcard to work. I've attached my lspci in the hopes that someone can see something and help me with it.

Obligatory question: Have you check with Dell to see if there is a updated BIOS?

Have you tried in "/etc/modprobe.conf"
alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel index=1 model=3stack

What version of ALSA are you using? I did an upgrade on my laptop that broke ALSA with the same chip set. (I upgraded to alsa-lib-1.0.14-0.1.rc1.fc6 from AT RPMS.) Downgrading to alsa-lib-1.0.13 didn't fix it, but building alsa-lib-1.0.14.rc3 and installing it helped. Now I just need to get the mixer working correctly again...
Does running "aplay -l" generate an error message?
Mikkel
Well the odd thing is sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't
Booting my laptop up this time it is working. I booted it up a few hours ago and it didn't work. I did manage to notice that I got an error during boot about udev. I can't recall if this is consistent or not.
I'll try and see if I can determine a patern to this.
Thanks.

After booting, try running "aplay -l" and see if it gives a proper listing for card 0, or if you get an error. What I have found is that ALSA can not set volume levels with rc1 on the ICH7. The audio works, but you can not control the volume, so you may or may not hear sound depending on the levels on boot. Trying to run alsamixer will also error out.
