What kind of problem with sound are you having?
I use the same module, and all I got is a continuous "shhhhhhhhhhhh" for a
while.

Actually, I think I finally just solved it! (Woo hoo!) What a relief!!!!
Symptom was basically ... no sound at all. BTW, I'm using the
snd-hda-intel module, with the IDT 92HD71B7X codec.
I think there may have been a combination of issues that was causing the
problem, but I just identified the final one - the analog loopback setting.
Here's all the things I've tweaked in the last couple of days that
either individually or in combination appear to have fixed it:
* Upgraded to kernel 2.6.29. Possibly might have been a bug in the
snd-hda-intel ALSA driver/codec in 2.6.28?
* Removed snd_hda_intel and snd-pcm-oss from the MODULES line in my
rc.conf. I'm using MOD_AUTOLOAD anyway, so I might as well just let the
system load them. Perhaps I was loading them in the wrong order somehow?
and, most important:
* This codec has 2 "Analog loopback" settings on the mixer. (Visible
both in alsamixer and in kmix (on the "Switches" tab).) Both of these
settings MUST be set to mute or sound goes dead. I have no idea what
these settings do - or why they normally start out UNmuted at system
boot - but as soon as I switch them off, the sound automagically comes
to life!
