This should be supported by the audiohd driver that ships with Solaris, since it is a codec chip for the Intel HD Audio interface. As minskey mentioned, several variants of the STAC9872 (found in VAIO SZs) are supported. The command he posted will print the codec ID so you can identify the chip. The hdaudio driver (not to be confused with audiohd) in OSS does not correctly configure the device for some of the SigmaTel codecs. I will be working with Dev Mazumdar to fix that. -Albert
