That's an interesting questing, since I have the same problem in SuSE 7.3.
According to SiS, the answer lies with Realtek, since SiS uses the codec Realtek alc100p... Realtek does provide a linux driver for that codec on their webpage. Problem is, I'm not that much of a linux expert, so I haven't gotten it to work yet... Somebody told me that this codec is already present in alsa as ac97_codec, but even though modprobe loads that just fine, I have no sound still...
The chip is supported on ALSA 0.9.0 (as intel8x0 driver). On SuSE 7.3 there is only ALSA 0.5.x, so you'll need to upgrade the ALSA by yourself. And please beware that ALSA 0.5.x and 0.9.0 have no compatibility with each other... Takashi
