the options in the laptop's BIOS are rather sparse and nothing about Sound card enable/disable
The soundcard works in Windows 7 and Ubuntu 8.04/8.10/9.04 Live USB images

Is the onboard sound enabled on BIOS?
Also, try to add probe_mask=1 option to snd-hda-intel module. If this still doesn't work, try probe_mask=2, then probe_mask=4, and probe_mask=8. If none of them works, then it's likely a hardware issue.
