lspci on my laptop shows the same chip:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio
Controller

lsmod | grep snd:

This sound driver isn't working perfectly, in alsamixer for example it
shows the chip as  Realtek ALC268, but not all the sliders appear, only
Headphone  PCM      Front   Front Mic Line In   Mic Boost

There are some modem settings showing up there as well, not sure why
they are there. Anyway try loading those modules..

good luck!
