Takashi, I did try passing model=auto to all 14 release candidates,
Did you already try the HG version (or daily snapshot), right?
but without success. the codec is never detected (see my previous posts for alsa-info.sh outputs with both 2.6.20 and 2.6.17). My problem is I cant get my sound card to work with kernel 2.6.20, when it used to work with 2.6.17.
The codec mask probed is 0x09, so you can pass either probe_mask=8 or probe_mask=1 to skip the modem detection (if it matters).

Tobin, Unfortunately, ACPI was on at all times. My laptop hardly ever boots without ACPI (randomly, the SATA driver fails before it can even mount the root partition). I ran some more tests today: I loaded Ubuntu Edgy from the live CD where the sound chip used to work (kernel 2.6.17, alsa driver 1.0.12rc1). Obviously the sound works straight away. From there , I ran the same series of test: download and build (--with-debug=detect) the next version of alsa-driver, run a capture from mic and try playing it back, check syslog and run alsa-info.sh. I did this for successive versions of alsa-driver (starting with 1.0.12) until it fails. Here are the results:

Summary: I tried alsa-driver 1.012 through to 1.0.14rc3 on ubuntu edgy (kernel 2.6.17). 12 and 13 work fine, 14rc1 and 2 capture works but not playback, 14rc3 doesnt detect the codec. What next ? not sure, maybe make a diff of alsa-kernel/pci/hda-intel between releases 13 and 14 ...
Try to pass model=auto to snd-hda-intel module, and check whether it works (make sure that you have unmuted/adjusted mixer elements before that). Then get /proc/asound/card0/codec#* files, and compare with the files without model option.
