Problem with sound in Fedora 11 but not in Fedora 8

[rarbox]

I have a Sony Vaio VGN-AR590E Laptop and I'm partially having problem with sound which I did not have in Fedora 8.

[death@rarbox ~]$ lspci | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

[death@rarbox ~]$ aplay -l

The problem was that I was not getting audio through the headphones after a default install. In Fedora 8, I fixed this by adding options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=vaio to modprobe.conf.
So, I tried the same solution in Fedora 11, but this time even though the sound did started coming through the headphones, the volume is way too little through speakers or headphones. I checked the mixer, pulseaudio volume control, advanced volume control, etc and they were all turned all the way up.

I tried other options as well like, auto, basic, 3stack, 5stack, 3stack-digout, etc.

I also have an internal mic and an optical out port which does not work at all. Even though that isn't a priority, it would be nice if I can fix that as well.

Look at System - Preferences - Sound. If that does not help, look at System - Preferences - Advanced Volume Control. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F11_bugs if you do not have Advanced Volume Control.

Okay, maybe I wasn't clear enough.

Those are set to max already. The volume is less only if I use the model=vaio option. Otherwise it is fine. But without that option, I have no sound from headphones so I have to choose between normal volume or disable headphones for now.

SOLVED.

This was fixed with a recent update.

To my surprise, even my S/PDIF port works now. I had given up hope with that after trying to get it to work on all the distros I tried.
