Hello, I've same problem in my system (Hp Pavilion zd7050ea). The problem is in the kernel config, here: under "Device Drivers->Sound->Advanced Linux Sound Architecture->PCI devices" You see here: <M> Intel/SiS/nVidia/AMD/ALi AC97 Controller <M> Intel/SiS/nVidia/AMD/ALi MC97 Modem (Experimental) The problem is a second module... If your kernel has include this two module, your sound card not work. If you remove the second point (MC97 Modem) in your kernel config, and you rebuild the kernel, your sound card will be work.
