Hello,
The problem is that when my friends are instaling any linux distributions, after instalation they are unable to find any sound. They are using intel 915 chipset motherboard. :? They are asking me the solution coz i am reading Digit regularly :D . But i am unable to solve :!: . Please anyone help me.

915 uses Intel High Definition Audio. To use this soundcard you need to install ALSA >= 1.0.10 and then pass extra options to the module snd-hda-intel, depending on the type of sound card you have. The in-kernel ALSA drivers will NOT work. The various options available for this module are
Model name Description
---------- -----------
ALC880
3stack 3-jack in back and a headphone out
3stack-digout 3-jack in back, a HP out and a SPDIF out
5stack 5-jack in back, 2-jack in front
5stack-digout 5-jack in back, 2-jack in front, a SPDIF out
6stack 6-jack in back, 2-jack in front
6stack-digout 6-jack with a SPDIF out
w810 3-jack
z71v 3-jack (HP shared SPDIF)
asus 3-jack
uniwill 3-jack
F1734 2-jack
test for testing/debugging purpose
I am currently using the following option with Intel D915GLVG Motherboard
model=3stack position_fix=2
Oh and btw, you didn't need to create a poll for it.

Alsa 1.0.7 onwards snd-azx (Azalia) and afterwards snd-hda supported.so u may need to update ur Alsa and have kernel-module-alsa made and installed.And if u have internet,you can update your kernel to >=2.6.12.So best of LUX.Also all these distros DRI/graphics drivers installed and supported for i915.. :)
@eddie:where do those options listed..i could not find any in my debian's /sur/share/doc/alsa* :)
