On a friends FUJITSU SIEMENS AMILO Li3710 10601011427 sound didn't work with kernel-PAE-2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i686
How about with the latest alsa-driver snapshot? ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz
Thanks.
I looked at your sound-2.6.git tree and found no quirk for this card (AFAICS) and assumed that it hadn't been reported and fixed yet.
When no quirk is set, the automatic mode is used as default. And, it's possible that the automatic mode has been fixed in the upstream. That's why I asked to test with the latest one. We should avoid any device-specific quirk as much as possible, but rather fix the automatic parser.
Ok, if you think that would be possible. I assumed that it was broken beond repair.

Also, please give alsa-info.sh output. Run with --no-upload and attach the generated file.
I became aware of that command after having visited my friend. I have output of dmesg and lshal and lspci - is that sufficient?
No
Ok, thanks for the hints to help me understand.
I will try alsa-drivers-snapshot and alsa-info.sh next time I get access to that computer - that will probably take more than a month.
OK, let me know any results.
Ok, I got access to the machine and tested successfully. The ALC662 on this machine works with the latest snapshot, so I assume that it eventually will start working with vanilla upstream kernels - somewhere between 2.6.30 and 2.6.32.
