Caidence, Your best bet is definitely a kernel upgrade. It is possible to get the VIA Southbridge to work under an older kernel using Alsa, but it's something of a pain. The one time I did it it took me quite a few hours to figure out exactly what had to go into /etc/modutils/snd and get everything working right. It's much easier to upgrade to a new kernel (The most recent stable one) that has support for the card.
