You don't seriously expect me to show this document to a standard Linux User!! This is designer talk! The normal user needs a manageable guideline.
Is there a(n) (up2date and reliable!!) database of Codecs, PCs and its interface implementations and testrecords somewhere? Let me know there is one.
My role: I am just gathering the problems over there http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=962695 I am making sure that the mixer issue is clarified over there at Ubuntuforums as well as the model-id part. Beyond that everything else will exceed my capacities.
The model-id part, if you read Takashi's document, sounds IMO pretty fluffy.
You can't expect a user to try all model-ids, to find the right one. You need to set up a database for that. Expecting the normal user to fiddle around with module options, is also not what I'd honestly expect from a 2009 Linux sound layer.
Sorry for sounding maybe a bit harsh. But the issues of "My headphone jack is not working" "My speakers are not working" "I got noise on my speakers" "I can't use my digital out" asf asf somehow have to get under control. It is obvious that a normal user can not handle this.
A reliable, well maintained database and user documentation would be a IMO a nice starting point.

The headphone-jack is not working.
Known issue?
You might be interested in the links in the email from Takashi Iwai copied below. They describe the troubleshooting of HD Audio devices.
Hi,
per popular demand, I wrote a brief document more about HD-audio driver. It's now found in sound git tree as Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio.txt. The git tree is:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git
You can get the text from web:

A PDF file is found at:

Comments, corrections and additions are appreciated.
thanks,
