[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#611666: alsa-base: sound not working on HDA Intel card

[Here I. Come]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.23+dfsg-2
Severity: important

This card is found on HP G62 laptop. If you put headphones jack, you can hear
through them, but not through laptop's speakers. Also microphone also seems not
to be working(tested w/ audacity).

I've got somewhat into the problem

$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Codec: Realtek ID 270
Codec: Intel G45 DEVIBX

The codec is being reported as 'Realtek ID 270' in my opinion it should have a
name(though I may be wrong).

My card is reported by alsamixer as

Card: HDA Intel
Chip: Intel G45 DEVIBX

aplay -l output:
