Well I do wonder whether it is just a very buggy BIOS etc not being helpful.

It isn't entirely obvious from the PCI dumps; I think its the 8235 from the first entry for the device:
Bus 0, device 17, function 0: ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8235 ISA Bridge (rev 0). Bus 0, device 17, function 1: IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 6). Master Capable. Latency=32. I/O at 0xdc00 [0xdc0f]. Bus 0, device 17, function 5: Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 80). IRQ 5. I/O at 0xe000 [0xe0ff].
ALSA seems to think its an 8235.

Nod - I've heard it play a few times; so I'm wondering about a loose cable; although my normal solution of these problems (buy a Soundblaster) has failed when I got the machine home to find it had a sticker over the back of the case saying if I opened it I'd break the warranty.
