The trouble with i810 sound is that I have seen several i810 based
mobos that have the built in sound circuitry (the one built into i810)
disabled - e.g. dell boxes. So just having an i810 based box doesn't give
any idea about the sound driver you need to get things working.
However, the generic sound hardware built into i810 chipset itself
is *good*, and works wonderfully with ALSA drivers.
