Audio on Asus F3JC

Hi!
I have an Asus F3Jc- laptop (http://uk.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=5&l … odelmenu=2)

lspci
Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

I can't seem to make alsa to work properly with my sound card

Tried searching the forum and make the proposed solutions but could never have a PCM channel in alsa (so that I could control volume), and my master channel doesn't allow me to control volume, so I can only have volume ON (and maxed out) or muted. Tried to add an option in the /etc/modprobe.conf so alsa uses model=uniwill-m31 as well. (seen in here, but doesn't work for me)
Tested on duke iso, with alsa 1.0.14.

My sound card behaves properly in Ubuntu 7.04 for instance, so I wonder if I should get some parameters from that install (like some alsa configuration file) and use them in Arch? If so, what files should I look for?

Thanks in advance

$ cat /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/infos | grep Model
Model reference    : F3JC

$ lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

$cat /etc/modprobe.conf | grep -Ev "^#"
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel

Volume is controlled with 'Front' mixer control according to alsamixer.

Registered to post that? Thanks alot!! Really appreciated
By the way, does the sound works in speakers and headphones, that way?
I have to setup arch again so I can try that.
Thanks!

Sound output goes to speakers when I unplug headphones. And volume is still controllable.
