Hmmm... Mine doesn't appear to be using the same chipset:

  kernel: Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 0.21, 06:29:46 Jun  1 2002
  kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:02.7
  kernel: i810: SiS 7012 found at IO 0xd400 and 0xdc00, IRQ 11
  kernel: i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 2 channels.
  kernel: ac97_codec: AC97  codec, id: 0x434d:0x4941 (Unknown)
  kernel: i810_audio: only 48Khz playback available.
  kernel: i810_audio: AC'97 codec 0 Unable to map surround DAC's (or DAC's not present), total
channels = 2
  modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-0-0

Google reveals that there are various drivers available, but I haven't
figured out whether any of them solves the "only 48Khz" problem. This
does appear to be an issue for the sound software I'm using, which
wants to do 44.1

Anyway, the search continues...
