Hello!

I have the same problems with a Fujitsu-Siemens Esprimo P2500 (afaik the same as the old X102). The funny thing: These PCs are sold as Linux-PCs... LOL

As far as i read in various newsgroups this is a common problem with these SIS chipsets/soundcard, they are not 100% compatible with intel specs.

Here are my detailed specs, logs and so on:

device:
0000:00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Sound Controller (rev a0)
Subsystem: Fujitsu Siemens Computer GmbH: Unknown device 1043
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 173, IRQ 225
I/O ports at 1400 [size=256]
I/O ports at 1000 [size=128]
Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 2

device ID 1039/7012

while loading the snd_intel8x0 module (manually):

[4298430.244000] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:02.7[C] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 217
[4298431.245000] codec_ready: codec is not ready [0x340000]
[4298431.245000] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:02.7 disabled
[4298431.245000] Intel ICH: probe of 0000:00:02.7 failed with error -5

cat /proc/asound/cards
--- nosoundcards ---

I use Dapper with the latest updates.
I tried to boot the pc with a breezy-live CD -> same problems as in dapper.

greetings,
