This is a question involving hardware support under Linux, therefore it
fits best in comp.os.linux.hardware, *not* any of the other groups this
has been posted to.

For help in getting your sound to work, post the output of "lspci | grep
audio", the output of "uname -a", the output of "lsmod", and the name
and version number of the distro you're using. Someone will probably be
able to tell you exactly what you need to do to get your sound to work
if you provide that information.
