With 2.6.25-git I lost sound on my Dell XPS M1330 laptop. There seems to be two issues at hand here: 1. Analog output is listed, but emits no sound (just silence), and 2. Digital out device is missing.

Issue #1 is bisected in this thread. #2 is still work in progress, and will be posted as a separate thread.

Please try my ALSA git tree
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git
One patch (removing master hack from headphone pin) would fix your
problem. At least, I have some reports that the latest ALSA tree
works. If it still doesn't work, give the alsa-info.sh output (the
script is found in www.alsa-project.org "Debug" section).

Yep. Analog out is working with sound-2.6.git. Thanks. What is the commit id of the removing master hack commit?

If the issue #2 is about HDMI, I'm afraid it won't work until Nvidia
video driver supports the HDMI audio output.

I must admit I never tested it in Linux, and testing it now using 2.6.24 I cannot get it to work either. In the windows drivers the port is simply labeled as a spdif output on the same codec, but I have no idea on how this is put together..
