Maybe I'm missing something, but I've failed to get even the slightest noise out of the onboard sound card from a Intel G33 motherboard. I tried the alsa drivers from the alsa-driver-1.0.15 package as well as the the alsa drivers provided by kernel 2.6.23 (built as modules), to no avail.
The sound chip is identified as a Intel HDA / Realtek ALC888 on the Intel G33 ICH9 motherboard.
I'm using a Dell Inspiron 530 with a G33 chipset, and I can confirm that the sound output isn't quite good. The Inspiron possibly needs a specific quirk to get the 5.1 output right, and even in 2ch mode the pin assignment is strange.
