i'm not sure what is the kernel version of the other distros you're using
but the support for MCP51 HD Audio was officially added on v2.6.20
via the  hda_intel  driver (although the chipset was also known to be
partially supported using the intel8x0 driver).

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.20



give it a try and if the problem persist, you might want to download
the latest  hda_intel.c  source driver provided by nVidia:

All,

I have Googled this, but I might have missed something along way.
Anyway, here is the situation.  My son as a new Gateway MX 3417.  AMD
Turion 64 and 512MB ram.  EVERYTHING works perfectly except the sound.
I can't get the sound to work with ANY distro, and SLED 10 seems to have
  the rest of the issues worked out that the others still need tweaking.

When I run Alsaconf it finds my sound card, and in fact, this is my card
info:

00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio
(rev a2)
Subsystem: Gateway 2000 Unknown device 0317
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 217
Memory at b0000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [50] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/0
Enable-
Capabilities: [6c] HyperTransport: MSI Mapping

I don't know if I have to get a different driver or what, but I'm
feeling very stupid, because I have never had this problem before.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Dave
