[SOLVED]no sound on kernel 3.2.5-1 (alsa /how to patch conexant audio)

Hello

I'm not sure if I have to post this in Newbie Corner or Multimedia, if I'm false here please move the Topic.
I installed arch yesterday so I'm new to it. My hardware is a Thinkpad Edge e325.

Now to my issue, I cant get my speakers to work.
I've read about a few issues and people sugested to downgrade the kernel but is there any other solution?
I've already checked if alsamixer is unmuted and the only sound I could produce so far is a beep but nothing from vlc, amarok or audacious.

On win 7 I used the Conexant Audio Driver and already found a patch for alsa (http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/) but shame on me, I cant figure out how to install it.

Hope you can help me.

It seems the default ALSA soundcard is the HDMI output while the "regular" sound chip is recognized as card 1.

From blog.

Google for changing the default soundcard.
