-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I think you're on the right track here. I ran in to the exact same problem with ALSA on my PCG-XG28 (or whatever it is) with the same audio hardware.
It turned out that I had everything set up just fine in Linux and that I needed to change a BIOS setting. You need to tell it that there is *not* a PnP OS installed, which will cause the BIOS to initialize all the PCI stuff. Enter the BIOS by pressing <F2> at boot time (when the Vaio logo is displayed).
