I have tried the latest alsa intel8x0 as well as some older versions under both 2.4 and 2.6 Linux kernels. The driver loads perfectly fine and operates OK except that the sound quality is very poor. There is always a fluctuating high-pitched whine in the background. It sounds very much like the aliasing effect you hear when you encode music with resampling at a low bitrate without a lowpass filter.
The computer is an Asus M3N laptop with i855 chipset. Here is a listing of the modules that are installed and the syslog message under kernel 2.6.2-rc1-mm2. I am using the SUSE 9.0 init script to start things up. Let me know if there is some other information that I can provide.
