Part of the problem is that it is a chip set that can be configured
several ways. From reading the ALSA list, it looks like the only way
to tell is to do a lookup of the specific machine to know what is
where. If your machine is not listed, you get a limited "default"
setup that usual works.

Do you have to do this every time you power up the machine? Did you
try just doing the modprobe commands and trying sound?
