If you're using 2.6.24-rc* kernel (or did 1.0.15 backports), make sure that you enabled all CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_* configs. Some people tend to reduce options as much as possible although they are suggested as default=y.
I'm using 2.6.22, which is the level of the stock Ubuntu 7.10 kernel. It has only one config symbol matching SND_HDA: CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL. I rebuilt the snd_hda_module from those sources.
I'm working on getting linux-backports-modules-2.6.22_2.6.22-14.11 uploaded today which will update your Ubuntu 7.10 ALSA drivers to 1.0.15. Look for it to appear in the repo sometime over the weekend (if all goes well).
The build didn't happen over the weekend as I promised. In the meantime one of our sales force guys has an X61. He said he was able to solve his issues from the info in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587394
I hope I'm correct in remembering you have an X61.
