Comment 12 for bug 274424

well, i have Debian (sid) but i guess i found a workaround/solution to this issue (i had it too)
add these 3 lines to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
options snd-hda-intel single_cmd=1

run "alsa reload" at the console :-)
