Audio Chip/Device
product: 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller

This is fairly old and should have a stable driver in hda-intel. The
version of the drivers in F11 is 1.0.18 in the 2.6.29 kernel. The
2.6.30 kernel in testing has 1.0.20 drivers. And alsa has just released
the 1.0.21 drivers. You could go to http://www.alsa-project.org and
download, compile, and install them to get the lastest stable hda-intel
driver.

There is no further point that I can see trying to fix anything until
the HDA driver or whatever else needs to be fixed is fixed. I have
made no headway on this list (although I have received losts of
helpful suggestions), the ALSA users list or Fedora bugzilla.

If you really want to understand the hda-intel architecture and its
relationship to alsa, and how to configure it in alsa, read the document
at this link. If you pursue it diligently, you will get your card
working or know the reason why it doesn't work.
