Yeah, it's rather tricky. I've a DG965WH motherboard and here's what I
did to get it working:

Foremostly, ensure that your speakers or headphone plug(s) are properly
connected. With mine, I plug my headphones into the back green-lined
connector; and this is seen as the "Front" device in my volume
preferences. (If you're using more than a simple stereo or 2.1 setup,
see the motherboard manual from Intel's site to properly match the I/O
connectors.)

Then, you should be using the snd-hda-intel driver module, which the
"Soundcard Detection" tool (system-config-soundcard) automatically
detected for me. Then, if you're using the analog I/O, make sure to set
the "STAC92xx Analog" option for the default PCM device.

Finally, make sure the "PCM" and "Front" controls are unmuted and set to
an appropriate level for your comfort, and you should have
nicely-working sound. (Personally, I set the PCM at about 95% and the
Front at about 70-80%, based on the current playing music/game; but your
listening habits may vary, especially if using true speakers instead of
headphones as I do.)


Hope that helps.
