It uses the hda-intel as well. The in kernel sound was broken after 2.6.27, and only fixed as of 2.6.32. You may also want to check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto It gives a simplified overview. The alsa site also has a lot of information. My advice is try 2.6.32 with all the hda codecs emerged and go from there. B. Vance
