Makes the most sense!
The SoundMax chips are indeed AC'97 codecs (from
Analog Devices), but
the driver to use depends on the AC'97 controller. Currently, there
are three types of controllers built into motherboard chipsets; the
drivers for these are snd-intel8x0, snd-via82xx, and snd-atiixp.
OK, making sense.

In this case, snd-atiixp is correct. >>but looking on the Alsa page I'm not
finding ATI.
The entry hasn't been written yet, but this driver doesn't need any
special configuration. Just look at the intel8x0 entry and replace
the module name with snd-atiixp.

Helps a lot! For Gentoo on this laptop I used ALSA_CARDS="atiixp". The
driver built fine first time, is installed and both the built-in
speakers and the headphone jack are working now using alsaplayer to play
a CD. alsamixer correctly sets volume independently on each.
Thanks for your help!
