17 Well after digging round the alsa-project.org site, I have to agree with you.
18 http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=
19 SiS&card=SiS+740.&chip=SI7012&module=intel8x0

21 I believe the chip number is SiS 7012 but it could be the 7013. Since it's a
22 (clevo D470W) portable, there is no mobo book....
23
24 Here's what I did for I2C bus
25 I2C support --->
26 I2C Hardware Bus support --->
27 <*> SiS 96x
28
29 And for the alsa (in case it matters) stuff:
30 Multimedia devices --->
31 Video For Linux --->
32
33 and Sound:
34 Sound --->
35 <M> Sound card support
36 Advanced Linux Sound Architecture --->
37 <M> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
38 PCI devices --->
39 <M> Intel i8x0/MX440, SiS 7012; Ali 5455; NForce Audio; AMD768/8111

46 I think this OSS/trident as nothing on the system is trident stuff is

56 yep, that I was, now I need a little more help to see that I get
57 the modules loaded correctly.

66 As mentioned above, I2C looks correct, according to your advice.
