I have the same laptop, and had the same problem. What I did may have been overkill but it worked. Add to /etc/modules the snd_* modules you need. My /etc/modules looks like this: i8k agpgart snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97-codec snd_nm256 snd_pcm snd_timer snd_page_alloc gameport snd_mpu401_uart snd_rawmidi snd_seq_device snd soundcore snd_mixer_oss snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_oss ide-cd speedstep_ich psmouse nvidia rtc Sound should work after this. -- Kevin C.
