Sorry -- my mistake about the SuSE bit -- that's what it reads in your sidebar so maybe time to edit your profile but either way, you're still in the correct location here, and the right file.

As far as that file goes -- WOW! I've never seen so much stuff in one sound file; but that's Ubuntu for you I guess, trying to be everything & do everything automatically..

I don't know what else to suggest. The machine you have is really new, and while there *are* a bunch of other options you could try, I think that they are for different-enough machines that they won't help either. The only other advice I can suggest for now, would be to keep an eye on the ALSA mailing list archives, and/or send them an email inquiring if anyone happens to have an idea if/when this machine's audio device might get added.

If you do decide to email them, include the information you got from the CODEC#0 file, as well as the information from `lspci -vvxxx` and also it wouldn't hurt to mention what-all jacks or audio-plugs & how many speakers the machine has -- in other words, make their job of adding your machine to ALSA as easy as possible, should they decide to go ahead on it.

Best of luck in the meantime; if I see anything new on this situation anywhere, I'll post it here! And who knows, maybe someone else who hasn't read this yet, will offer a suggestion.

If you'd like to try *one last time* -- remove any other snd-hda-intel lines from your sound.conf file (or comment them out with a # symbol), and put this line:

options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-6ch

Then reboot (with fingers & toes crossed!) and after rebooting, check your mixer (Kmix, Alsamixer, or whatever you use) and see if you have more buttons, including a mute option(s).

Fingers crossed here too...

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work either. I guess this is just what happens when you buy a computer with a brand new chipset and install Linux on it...
