Here

* The specific audio device is an Intel High Definition Audio (hda-intel) device.
* The hda-intel device is supported by by alsa-driver 1.0.14rc1 (not production yet).

With
the bundled drivers of alsa, you do not seem to be able to use this
audio device. At this point you can get the latest version
alsa-driver’s source from

http://www.alsa-project.org

and
build the driver from source. The alsa-driver 1.0.14 is developed based
on a brand new class model introduced in kernel 2.6.13 and it is not
availiable with some latest distro kernels. You will need to go to some
very new kernel version..
