Greetings. I have encountered this same problem in Gentoo with the 2.6.16 kernel, and through my communications with NVidia support, I have found that the 2.6.16 kernels and later support this chipset in the kernel. When you compile your kernel, you need to compile ALSA into the kernel, as well as support for your chipset. Then, recompile and you'll have sound. (I found this after many days of trying to get the nvaudio to load with modprobe.)

Regards,
Bradley Williams
