Yes but my motherboard is ASUS P7H55D-M PRO not ASUS P7H55-M PRO i
dont know the exact differences between h55d and h55 (i think only a
'deluxe' on the package)
On Asus compare, differences are about gigabit lan (realtek obviusly)
on p7h55d-pro and more "asus unique features" on p7h55d-pro (wasted
money to get nothing more than value mobo)
This is my back panel :
http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/8864/asusp7h55dmpro1156ddr3m.jpg
seems the same as p7h55-pro
 are out of my skills.
I will revert sound-2.6-git changes (printk and patch you suggested
above), create a new alsa-info, dump the graph by hda-analyzer tool, I
will post all these things later (when back home)
Anyway, all of you make a great work. I realy appreciate. Thanks All.
