Done.

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=asus

Still not working. :-(

How should I know if the option has made effect?
I have no special log in modprobe:

Sep  7 16:50:16 undertaker kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1b.0[A]
-> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11

BTW, in dmesg I noticed that the message:
hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC880, trying auto-probe from BIOS...
hda_codec: num_steps = 0 for NID=0x8

is no longer present but I think it's because the downgrade and nothing
about the "model=asus" option.

It's becoming hard solving this issue... Do you think it could be a
misconfiguration of alsa.conf or something like that?
Is there any way to test my sound card in low level (cat /dev/urandom
> /dev/xxx) ?
