I have several old Thinkpads of Pentium II & III vintage, and have
found with recent kernels that sound (and other things too!!) support
kind of comes and goes. It would seem that kernel developers all have
nice shiny new machines.
To solve most of my sound card headaches I bought a pair of USB
headphones, and a pair of high-quality USB speakers. I have also found
that if I blacklist the module for the internal sound card, when I plug
in a USB sound device it becomes the one and only default sound device,
and almost all software talks to it just fine. (Getting some software
to talk to a USB sound card in the second position is non-trivial....)
Just a thought.
