Sure it does.  Certainly the driver has an entry for your GPU's device
ID:

	INTEL_VGA_DEVICE(0x0162, &intel_ivybridge_d_info), /* GT2 desktop */

Now, there may be *bugs*, but that's another matter.

But audio has nothing to do with the processor... unless you are talking
about audio over HDMI?

We are *considering* updating some or all of the graphics drivers to the
versions found in Linux 3.4, which might fix this.  I don't know if
packages are available for test yet.
