Works like a charm for me (sony vaio) with the following kernel options : CONFIG_SND_AC97_CODEC=m CONFIG_SND_INTEL8X0=m CONFIG_SND_INTEL8X0M=m The only tricky thing I had to do was to mute the external amplifier in alsamixer : run alsamixer, scroll right to the external amplifier and press 'm'. Other people have reported this to work. $ lsmod | grep snd snd_intel8x0 34688 1 snd_pcm_oss 55584 0 snd_mixer_oss 20288 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_intel8x0m 18884 0 snd_ac97_codec 88060 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m snd_pcm 95752 4 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0m,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 26500 1 snd_pcm snd 55396 9 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_intel8x0m,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 9952 1 snd snd_page_alloc 10824 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_pcm Regards, Alexandre
