[solved]Problems with 82801H (ICH8 Family) sound

Hi!

I've got some problems with my sound.

I read http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=50047 (adding options in modprobe.conf)
I tried http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALS … s_and_test
and followed http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Len … X300#Sound

But for some reason I simply can't get any sound at all.

My laptop is a lenovo x61s with
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

The modules (same as first link), are loaded without problems.
I've run alsaconf, checked modprobe.conf and modprobe.d/sound, looks ok
I get the channels in alsamixer, and my regular user is a member of audio group.
Trying e.g. vlc gives no error, simply no sound..
Following the test (second link, with aplay), gives no error.. simply no sound

I can't find anything in the logs..

The card worked perfectly in both Ubuntu and Slackware... so I can't see why it shouldn't work in Arch..
Help : )

Yeey I solved it!

It seems that snd-hda-intel module can't always recongnized what kind of soundcard you're using.

By supplying the correct model option to the module, I finally got my sound.

Available models are found in

For my laptop it was "thinkpad" : )

Thx
