Could you check the very latest sound git tree or alsa-driver snapshot
below, first without model option?
 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git
 ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/
alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz

Hi,

I tried with the alsa-driver snapshot without any model option, and now the headphones mute the speakers. But the internal microphone doesn't still work, and 'Side' doesn't output sound like it did before, even if it's unmuted and with volume at 100% (with the old version and without any model option, it worked)

What "Side" volume would do exactly? It's for 7.1 output. Does the machine have 7.1 output?
