I just tried (vanilla 2.6.28.1 whit .config file copied from the
debian 2.6.26 kernel), sorry if it took me a while, it's been like 2
years hadn't compiled a kernel the debian way.

The result less than spectacular, the microphone does not work. I can
hear what I say in the headphones but alsa based audio application
only hear silence :(

Do you have any suggestion? Like any special parameters to pass to the
snd_hda_intel module?

I tried with
options snd-hda-intel model=vaio

in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base but it didn't help

Cheers,

Michele
