Thanks Raffaele. Is there a good way of finding out the model of
soundcard in my computer, without taking the case off (possible, but
not ideal)?

well, as showed from aplay -l your model is : ALC887-VD
`cd /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver` and `gunzip HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz`

open HD-Audio-Models.txt with your favourite text editor/viewer, rows [128..153] they seems to match your model (-VD apart), have a try according to your computer and/or souncard and/or board

I see your card has an spdif so I would guess one of 

3stack-dig   
6stack-dig    
3stack-6ch-dig    
3stack-6ch-intel

remember to reload alsa after each change (service alsa-utils restart)
