pitabred -- I love the unintentional pun about my post to the alsa-dev
list -- the name I go by is Guy (my middle name :-)  I have an update on
my issue.  I cannot begin to remember exactly what I did, but I got
sound working at one point.  I can distinctly remember making the latest
also-driver-snapshot source and typing make install-modules and on
reboot having sound. But, alas, it is now gone again. I had some serious
issues with grub (after upgrading to grub2 -- what a mistake) and the
restore process involved a lot of package purges and reinstalls.  That,
of course, lost the alsa-driver modules. Just this evening I tried the
make install-modules when I noticed I didn't have sound again. And I'm
back where I was several weeks ago.  No sound on the SB output.  The
HDMI is correctly found.  The also-dev gurus think this is a kernel
issue.  So, like you I'm available for tshooting should anyone here
think I can help. I have an HP dv4 laptop:

This is what things look like when it works (from dmesg.0) -

I have no idea, of course, why purging all the kernel images, then
reinstalling the  latest generic and remaking and make installing the
latest alsa-driver-snapshot doesn't work.
