Re: [alsa-devel] Alsa 1.0.13 (and others) does not work on ALC880

Dear Tobin thank you for your so helpful recommendations ! In fact the
key was probe_mask=1. But I did not see this option in the hda-intel
module description :-( ...
Now I added probe_mask)=1 in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and it works
either with 1.0.13 or 14rc4 :-).
In fact when alsa is compiled with debug=detect this option is not
necessary any more and sound works even without this option ...
Does this option (probe_mask=1) limitates something in the sound system
? Is it better to not use it or is it painless for audio possibilities ?
Thank you again for your help !!!
Now to be more precise :
1) If I compile 14rc4 with debug=detect it can be
compiled, modules can be inserted :
- --> when inserted with
# modprobe -v snd-hda-intel model=clevo
I get in /var/log/messages :

...
Ok, you have 14rc4 (according to your email).  Try loading the driver
with "model=clevo", as it appears that is the system type you have.
Make sure the drivers are built with "--with-debug=detect" so that we
can get good dmesg output.  You shouldn't need any other parameters.
The clevo model was added not too long ago.  The other model to try is
"model=test".  This will give you control over all nodes and functions.
You may also need to add "probe_mask=1" (or something like that) to
limit the number of codecs being detected.  I don't know why
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 would hang.

I tried a lot of workarounds but none worked : boot options (irqpoll,
pci=noacpi), single_cmd=1, position_fix=1, several models of hda-intel
driver, I tried 1.0.13 and 1.0.14rc4 driver, with debug on...
I must add that I already had this problem with previous distributions
of Ubuntu. It worked with an old one (Breezy) then in Dapper and Edgy,
it did worked ONLY when I self-compiled the driver with debug option
enabled I never understood why. And now with Feisty/alsa 1.0.13/ubuntu
kernel 2.6.20, or an ubuntu kernel with self-compiled alsa 1.0.14rc4, it
does not work. I cannot have one sound :-(.
Please help me ....
