Try one of the alternative drivers.  Raffaele's is the one that worked for me 
(the default driver--snd-intel8x0-- had the same symptoms as yours).  You 
might get sound out of the driver your using if you set for 8 bit sound 
instead of 16 bit, too.   Anyway, my driver is the OSS i810_audio

I'm using the same Intel 810 chipset without problems. Could distorted 
sound be caused by too high volume? What application are you using to 
play sound? What files are you playing?

You are not giving many details, I'll just throw some info here:
lsmod on my system gives
...
i810_audio 25692   0
ac97_codec 15828   0  [i810_audio]
soundcore   6340   0  [i810_audio]
/etc/modules.conf contains:
alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
