As mentionned in previous post for host Dell Dimension 3100 (ICH6
Family) High Definition Audio Controller with no sound...

[root at sparkbox ~]# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
<...>
alias snd-card-0 snd-azx
options snd-card-0 index=0
install snd-azx /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-azx
&& /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-azx { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1
|| : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-azx

Same issue now for Acer Aspire 1400XV, using following env for i820:

BTW 'system-config-soundcard' doesn't play anysound after booting using
that 42.0.2 kernel.

Finally for an ASUS CUSL2C / PIII Host + Creative Labs SB Live! 1024
Card, sound is working correctly OK as expected with new kernel,

Hints for non working sound at indicated hosts (embedded integrated
sound chips in my case)?

TIA
