I can't make my audio system works properly on my HP G62 laptop. I can hear the sound only in my headphone, and my speaker and microphone don't work at all.

Here some information:

Try to emulate such behave in console (without X). Run mpg123 and got the same stuff - can only hear sound through headphones.

My /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf looks like:
# autoloader aliases
install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-0
install sound-slot-1 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-1
install sound-slot-2 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-2
install sound-slot-3 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-3
install sound-slot-4 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-4
install sound-slot-5 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-5
install sound-slot-6 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-6
install sound-slot-7 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-7
# Cause optional modules to be loaded above generic modules
install snd /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-ioctl32 ; /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq ; }
install snd-rawmidi /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-rawmidi && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq-midi ; : ; }
install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-emu10k1-synth ; : ; }

# Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0

# Keep snd-pcsp from beeing loaded as first soundcard
options snd-pcsp index=-2
# Keep snd-usb-audio from beeing loaded as first soundcard
options snd-usb-audio index=-2


Appended to config next line:
options snd-hda-intel model=basic

then change it to 
options snd-hda-intel model=hp

And even try to comment out:
options snd-intel8x0m index=-2

After any changes reboot the system or run alsa force-reload. But nothing help me.

Also tried to delete pulseaudio:
apt-get purge pulseaudio

But this step was unsuccessful too.
