OK... found some Infos in dmesg:

Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 0.24, 23:14:58 Aug 25 2004
i810: SiS 7012 found at IO 0xd800 and 0xdc00, MEM 0x0000 and 0x0000, IRQ 10
i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 6 channels.
i810_audio: Defaulting to base 2 channel mode.
i810_audio: Resetting connection 0
i810_audio: only 48Khz playback available.
i810_audio: AC'97 codec 0 supports AMAP, total channels = 6


The sound comes from:

chipset. This is a 5.1-Soundsystem maybe that's the prob.
