This wiki page says the model parameter can be either mbp3 or mb5: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MacBook_Aluminum#Sound I've configured it as mb5 and nothing changed. I'll configure as mbp3 and post if something improves, but I doubt that since the wiki page does not say anything about differences between them. -- Rafael Beraldo http://cabaladada.org
