The problem is that, I can play sounds, in all players they start playing, but I do not hear anything, not through the speakers nor the headphones. This kinda renders my laptop unusable for daily use.
I hope somebody can help me out.
edit: the model=ref option is added by me, though it does not make any difference.
I have the same soundcard and just got it working, you seem pretty close
you are using the HDA Intel chip, codec is SigmaTel STAC9200, same as I
trying out all possibilities for modprobe options as listed under "STAC9200" in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz, this one worked:
options snd-hda-intel model=gateway
so add this line to:
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
I did not have to add it to
/etc/modules (without "options")

Turn off the power saving feature in kernel (for HDA-Intel).
