Hi Chris: If you can access the machine's BIOS when you boot it up perhaps you can retrieve some more detailed information regarding the audio chipset and its configuration. For completeness sake I have to ask: how did you configure ALSA ? Did you build and install the entire package ? Were there any problems with it ?
