See this for background.

I still cannot get the sound to work on this notebook. The sound is indentified thusly in dmesg:
Code:
Trident 4DWave/SiS 7018/ALi 5451,Tvia CyberPro 5050 PCI Audio, version 0.14.10h, 20:49:30 Oct  3 2003
trident: SiS 7018 PCI Audio found at IO 0xdc00, IRQ 10
Nothing else is using interrupt 10 either. When I boot not even the system bell works. If I boot with the nosound cheatcode the system bell works until I modprobe trident for sound. Any ideas of how to try and resolve this? I'm stuck booting off CD for a few days until my new hard drive comes. In the meantime I could really use sound.

Once again here is the relevant output of lspci -vv:

The sound works fine ordinarily so it is not bad hardware either.
