I am using Mageia Beta 2 on my notebook.
The audio device is recognised and function, with a little bug.

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company dv6-1190en
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 49
        Memory at da100000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
        Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV710/730
        Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company ATI RV710/730 [dv6-1190en]
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 50
        Memory at da010000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
        Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

The bug is that the control in the notebook to increase or decrease the volume controlled is ATI "01:00.1 Audio device", but the sound is controlled by Intel "00:1b.0 Audio device".
Also the On/Off control is managing the wrong device.
