Following the instructions in 
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
in section titled
    "Update to the latest version of alsa"
I installed the lastest version of ALSA.  I used the following configure command
   ./configure --with-debug=detect --with-cards=hda-intel
for maximum debug output.

>From the output, it became apparent that the since the hda-intel driver

as a STAC9200 (and not one of the other, higher numbered models),  the only 
parameter I can set for 
mode= is ref, any other value is ignored.   And for the two settings available 
to me (i.e no setting or 'ref'), 
neither worked.

So, the best I can figure is that the hda-intel driver does not support my 
particular version of the hda-intel
hardware.  I would escalate this to the ALSA developers, but unfortunately I no 
longer have regular access
to that laptop.

By the way, I've attached the debug output from the latest ALSA driver (from 
setting --with-debug=detect
above), for both cases of the mode= setting. the case where I did not set the 
model, and the case where I 
set it to 'ref', in the event that anyone finds it useful (the files are 
debug.none and debug.ref respectively).
