Your chip is a STAC9200. Add them in the /etc/modprobe.conf file as lines like: options snd_hda_intel model=dell-d21 or dell-m25 or ... Each codec may have a model table for different configurations. If your machine isn't listed there, the default (usually minimal) configuration is set up. You can pass "model=<name>" option to specify a certain model in such a case. There are different models depending on the codec chip.
