2.6.27.2 hda-intel weak sound from speakers

[Stephen Clark]

Hi,

I am running linux 2.6.27.2 ontop of a Fedora 8 distro. The sound from the 
speakers is barely audible with all the mixer settings at max, this includes
the pulseaudio settings. This is on an ASUS laptop with intel-hda. I ran
alsa-info and the results are at:

http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=7c83d3e5d89101f8e9a0a4aa18cd76f499e02fda

There has been some minor improvement in the volume over the past year I have
had the laptop. I am hoping that someone can identify a way to make the sound
loud enough so I don't have to put my ear by the speakers to hear the sound.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thank,
Steve

Try to pass either model=asus-a7j or model=asus-a7m.  One of them may
give a bit better result.

Thanks Takashi, I'll give it a try and report the result - OBTW this is an
ASUS S96F - which was a build to order (Verified By Intel - VBI) laptop - which 
corresponds to ASUS Z96F
laptop.
