Comment 37 for bug 582199

(sorry the post above looks bad, so I re-post it)

hi David, your hda-analyzer solution works, but the ".fw" patch doesn't. I have a work-around:
1. goto ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/misc/hda-verb/
    download hda-verb-0.3.tar.gz and compile it
2. add two lines in /etc/rc.local
    /path/to/hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x1a 0x701 0
    /path/to/hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x1b 0x701 0
3. reboot, done.

I admit this is ugly, but it makes sound work automatically.

Hopefully it is helpful when the ".fw" patch fails.
