Linux OSS driver
On systems where lspci shows an Intel AC'97 Audio Controller, this chip is supported by the i810_audio kernel module.
Linux ALSA driver
On systems where lspci shows an Intel AC'97 Audio Controller, this chip is supported by the snd-intel8x0 kernel module.
On systems where lspci shows an ATI AC'97 Audio Controller (R40e and R51e), this chip is supported by the snd-atiixp kernel module.
Note
On some models (T40, T43p, ...) audio is muted if either Headphone or Line Jack are unmuted. See also ALSA Wiki FAQ [1]
If You have problems with mixing, You may need to try this:
$ cat ~/.asoundrc pcm.ossmix {
   type dmix
   ipc_key 1024
   slave {
       pcm "hw:0,0"
       period_time 0
       period_size 1024
       buffer_size 8192        # buffer size < 6653, but pow(x, 2)
       rate 48000              # we want to play CDs only
}
   bindings {
       0 0
       1 1
   }
}
- Everything shall be dmixed, so redefine "default":
 
pcm.!default {
   type plug
       slave.pcm "ossmix"
       }
       # OSS via aoss should d(mix)stroyed:
       pcm.dsp0 {
           type plug
               slave.pcm "ossmix"
               }
               ctl.mixer0 {
                   type hw
                       card 0
                       }
FreeBSD OSS driver
snd_ich will work happily for this audio chip.
