How do I tell which driver I need for sound?

Thanks for the tip, but sadly, no dice :-(
I just discovered another post which mentioned "dmidecode" - looking through that I see:
On Board Device 3 Information
Type: Sound
Status: Disabled
Description: Realtek High Definition Audio Device
...
Onboard Device
Reference Designation: AUDIO1
Type: Sound
Status: Disabled
Type Instance: 1
Bus Address: 0000:00:1b.0
so by the looks of it, the device(s) are disabled in the BIOS (which I sadly can't access due to a BIOS bug).
Thanks anyway,
Steve

Caveat - might not use the drivers in ports/audio/oss if you have any sort of usb sound device (microphone, speakers, etc.) Last time I experimented with it would cause bad things to happen. (You can use the mixer and ossinfo tool without using the drivers in the port., eg. ossxmix and ossinfo)
