Update - snd_hda_intel and HP dv7

Just a quick update for reference...

I just updated to 2.6.30 and my Intel HDA sound card appears to finally be working 100% properly. This includes the headphone jacks disconnecting the internal speakers when headphones are connected.

FTR, my laptop is a HP dv7 1026tx

Re: Update - snd_hda_intel and HP dv7

Uff instead now i have no more sounds again... how is it possible?

EDIT: I think my problem is that arch sets the wrong soundcard as default. Infact if I give alsamixer -C 0 I can configure the wrong soundcard.
Instead I would set as default the "1" soundcard
