No sound on VIA high definition audio controller (i think)

This is what should make sound on my laptop:

04:01.0 Audio device: VIA Technologies, Inc. VIA High Definition Audio Controller (rev 10)

aplay -l  shows:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: VT82xx [HDA VIA VT82xx], device 0: VT1708 Analog [VT1708 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: VT82xx [HDA VIA VT82xx], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I have tried both the snd_hda_intel and snd_via82xx drivers but they both don't work... even with this modprobe.conf:

alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss

No sound whatsoever though

Try using the ac97_quirk option in modprobe.conf:

options snd-via82xx ac97_quirk=n

Where n ranges from 0 to 3. Start with 0 and work your way up.
