Looks like loads of people are facing problems cofiguring their audio. I also have the same problem as above (mine is also ac97 audio controller). I have posted in wherever this sound problem thread is going and tried many approaches but just get no sound.
the sound cofiguration tool, tells me that I'm using the "snd-via82xx" driver...., and if I try to pick the driver myself, the one you mentioned before, doesn't show up...., any thoughts????
