I tried changing the 'model' setting several times, before reverting back
to the default.  I reran 'alsaconf' several times in the process, and
occasionally noticed changes to the set of mixer elements listed by
alsamixer.  Sometimes a "PCM" element would be present, other times not.  I
also upgraded t the kernel from 2.6.31 to 2.6.32.  While in 2.6.32, with
the default 'model' setting (i.e.  auto), I was in the alsamixer and
unmuted one of the elements - I think it was the "Front Mic" element.
Suddenly, audio started working.  I then muted all the mixer elements
except master and maybe PCM (if PCM was present at the time).  Audio
remained working.  I booted back into 2.6.31.  Audio still worked.  I
couldn't get it to stop working at that point, in order to try to reproduce
the original problem.  I also was not able to reproduce success on the
other systems with the same hardware.

I tried a few values for 'model'.  I have not tried HDA-Analyzer.  I had
hoped to avoid going in that deep.
