[alsa-devel] no sound with hda-intel, conexant venice chip on hp 2836

For some reason, your system is defaulting the output pin connections to
the mixer as opposed to the pcm (Node 0x10 & 0x11 should connect to
0x19).

Are you dual booting to Windows?  I've had issues getting this driver
debugged, and this is usually one of the causes.  I'll try to revisit it
again soon. 

In the mean time, try unloading the driver, then load it with "modprobe
-i snd-hda-intel model=test" to correctly set the channels, then unload
and reload the driver without parameters.

After years of research, scientists recently reported that there is,
indeed, arroz in Spanish Harlem.
