[SOLVED] HDA - Sound problem

After a lot of reading, experimenting, etc without success:
I am asking for help!

Notebook: Sony Vaio Z Series
OS: up-to-date Archlinux

Problem: Sound not working

output of lspci

$ lspci -vv | grep -i audio -A 8

soundcore              16384  1 snd

I guess, the core problem is here:  [    4.371249] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: no codecs found!

I have tried many things, but no success.

Any help is appreciated !

Thanks, Manfred
