If you compiled the driver in debug mode, you can select model=test for alc260

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried compiling both the stable versions and the latest snapshots. The result was that new modules appeared in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/alsa, which I think is the idea. However, when trying to use these modules, I received
$ sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel FATAL: Error inserting snd_hda_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.35-24-generic/updates/alsa/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
And dmesg contains the following: syslog:Jan 23 16:47:03 baldur kernel: [ 23.389315] snd: Unknown symbol unregister_sound_special (err 0) syslog:Jan 23 16:47:03 baldur kernel: [ 23.390067] snd: Unknown symbol register_sound_special_device (err 0)
After reinstalling the alsa and linux-sound packages for Ubuntu, I recovered sound, but I can't try the "test" parameter without being able to load the module.
Do you know what this error means?
