This worked for my ICH7 chipset
Edit the "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base" file
Note before Gloria the file is /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base without a conf:
gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
add at the very end:
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=auto [auto works better]
Replace auto with the brand of your computer - acer, asus, dell, toshiba and others. Macbook pro has mbpx where x is the "generation" of Macbook Pro
Use minor letters. Lots of brands can be used, but if you have an unusual brand you may have to stay with auto
If you have another sound card and don't want the IHC sound to be the default set index=-2
In case of slightly distorted, weird, crackled sound on Apple Macs and perhaps other computers too try this:
gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local
Add two following lines to the end of file before "exit 0":
rmmod snd_hda_intel
modprobe snd_hda_intel
This unloads and reloads the Intel sound module
NOTE: For all solutions here to work you must reboot.
