I did, as that has worked as well as you describe in the past for me 
also.  However now after I select the intel8x0 driver it attempts to use 
alsamixer to raise the volume and I get a device not found error and 
nothing further happens.

However I am much more hopeful now, at least there's someone with the 
same computer in a working configuration.  Did you compile ALSA from the 
source shipped with the kernel or from the alsa-source package?

Thanks,
