I had some problem with sound when I first moved to Wheezy. The problem seemed
to be that the driver was trying to use the sound port on my graphic card, or
something. Once thing which seemed to help was to add the following line in
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:
options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1
You can also use other values of probe_mask to cause the driver to try specific
cards (Google for information).
Your symptoms do not seem the same as mine, however, so this may not be at all
relevant!
