[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#769059: base: eeepc 1015PN: alsa sound not working

[Samuel Bernardo]

Package: base
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Alsa can't detect my audio device in eeepc 1015PN.

http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-hda-intel
I followed what was described in that page and the best I could achieve was starting nvidia sound card when manually loading following modules:
modprobe snd-hda-intel ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; modprobe snd-mixer-oss
but sound continues not to work because that seems to be related with GPU and not with Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller.
The Intel Audio controller can't be loaded with alsa.

initial state after boot is the following:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=609eff36d7b903493b97914d4b8e1ed12ea454b9

I try to start alsa with following command
$ alsactl init
Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "Nvidia GPU 0b HDMI/DP" "HDA:10de000b,10de0101,00100200" "0x1043" "0x8470"
Hardware is initialized using a generic method

$ speaker-test -t wav -c 2 -l 2

speaker-test 1.0.28

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
WAV file(s)
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory

After this the result of detected interfaces is the following with only NVIDIA card detected and that is not expected:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=684d72d045fa39666db5e4d6dc620304373a8b0e

I'm trying to get audio module snd-hda-intel detecting my card but it gives the following message as shown in dmesg:
[   26.988349] oss_hdaudio: HDA codec 0x10ec0269 not known yet
[   26.997841] oss_hdaudio: HDA codec 0x10ec0269 not known yet

So I trying to found a solution to start Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller.
Until now only NVIDIA Corporation High Definition Audio Controller seems to be starting.
