I have a dell E1705 which has Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller ( enabled in bios) . I can t get any sound off it on playing mp3/mpeg files( I can see title  but no sound. ) Any clues on how to resolve this  ?

Does DSL support this chip ?

thanx

Did you try the other forum users' alternative methods?
i.e. see http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....06;st=5


Also, in http://www.gidnetwork.com/b-106.html it lists this for your chipset:
Code Sample
modprobe snd-hda-intel;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss

Your link shows the chip is supported . However
I even downloaded latest ALSA  version and built the modules but the chip did not show up on 'lspci'. It seems like ALSA sound driver for Intel high definition audio does not work with older version of kernel 2.4.x . However when I booted off ubuntu off CD (with recent kernel versions 2.6.x)) the chip was detected right away and listed.

thanks
