Ubuntu Linux and Audio

I have been struggling with audio issues ever since I bought my ASUS laptop a few months ago. My headphone jack would just not work.

Here is some output from lspci that shows my audio hardware:

$ lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)

The fix that made my headphone “just work”, was adding a modprobe.d file like so:

sudo echo "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" > /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf
sudo reboot

Also, this fixed my internal microphone. I just wonder why I still have to do that by hand.
