Update 03/10/07 Sound is working with the alsa drivers from the kernel and I installed the ati drivers and they work fine. You will not be able to use it for beryl untill ati fixes them for that but otherwise works well.
Thanks for stopping by. I will use this page to add any updates. If you have a question just visit the forum I set up.
From the gentoo mailing list looks like they have got it working.
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-digout position_fix=1 index=0
This settings seems separate modem and the sound card and the last option determine the correct type and fixes something :)
I found that, my laptop has two jacks: one is line-in/microphone, the other one is headphone/spdif output. My laptop manual says, it has a spdif output: 7.1. (Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 1505)
From alsa-project, there is a nice document: alsa doc
In the local kernel directory everybody must have this document: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt
It has a part about snd-hda-intel and its options.
