Have you unmuted and or played with volume levels in Alsamixer and Amixer? Do you know what codec chip you are currently using? You can find out by something like: # Find out how many cards are listed: cat /proc/asound/cards # If only card 0: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 Then to see if Alsa recognizes all your inputs, aplay -l and aplay -L should tell you. Depending on the outcome of the above commands, you may have to pass a model parameter to your modprobe command. A list of models and their descriptions can be found in Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt.
