  Ah, maybe I missed it, but what version of DSL are you using?  The gnu-utils/alsadeb/dpkg route is for older versions as I recall (1.x, 2.x?).
  At any rate I have had some luck with DSL 3.0.1 and snd-hda-intel by booting with the "alsa" option, installing the Alsa drivers from the Testing repository http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub...., and entering the modprobe command string: modprobe snd-hda-intel;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss.
  I get good sound, but no software volume control with either dmix or multimedia apps.  Others with Intel on-board sound seem to have had this same problem with DSL. 
  For me the same MB works flawlessly with Ubuntu, and also with Puppy 2.11. |  
  Can anyone provide any information on whether the intel HDA chipset can be recognized and function with latest versions of DSL?
  I had to abandon DSL 3.x because I could never get any kind of volume control.
  So if anyone has had luck with getting control over the intel HDA chipset, please let me know.
  TIA
