Request for help with snd-hda-intel ICH6 CMI9880

[Piotr A. Frątczak]

I have problem with below mentioned motherboard
http://www.gigabyte.pl/MotherBoard/Products/Products_Spec_GA-8I915P%
20Duo%20Pro.htm

sound input. I'm using it since the times of snd-azx module, but until
now I never had the need to use any external sound input, thus I wasn;t
aware I have a problem. I am unable to hear anything neither by
connecting the microphone nor by connecting my new tv-card to the
'cdrom-in' connector on the motherboard. It works on W2K or with another
card (snd-cmipci) - I usually use Gentoo, but I checked it on Fedora
Core 4 and OpenSuse 10.0 - same effect.
Please give me a hint how to fix this 
best regards

Try all the different "model=" options for hda-intel described in
ALSA-Configuration.txt and report back here if any of them help.

I should have mentioned that previously, but I did try all the possible
model= previously and even the ones not fot this chip. Nothing changes.
What I did obtain by checking all the possible mixer setting is that I
am able to record the sound (in my case it's the TV card's sound) using
the gnome-mixer(?). I have to:
1) change to "1: C-MEDIA CMI9880 (OSS MIXER)
2) set the In-Gain to 100
3) go back to "0: HDA Intel (ALSA MIXER)
4) in 'option tab' set the input0 source to 'rear mic'
5) in the 'recording tab' set the capture0: the 'speaker icon' unmute,
and mute the 'mic icon'(capture switch?) - if I want mic then this
switch should be unmuted. The input source is connected to the
motherboard cd-in. 
That way I am able to record the sound with the gnome's recording, but I
don't hear it until I play the recorded part. AFAIK it's 'model='
independent, but didn't check it - the current is:

$ grep model /etc/modprobe.conf
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=min_fp position_fix=3

I know that my description is quite unprofessional - please forgive me
and guide me how to list these settings for you.
