The HD-audio component consists of two parts: the controller chip and
the codec chips on the HD-audio bus. Linux provides a single driver
for all controllers, snd-hda-intel. Although the driver name contains

all controller chips by other companies. Since the HD-audio
controllers are supposed to be compatible, the single snd-hda-driver
should work in most cases. But, not surprisingly, there are known
What `model` option values are available depends on the codec chip.
Check your codec chip from the codec proc file (see "Codec Proc-File"
section below). It will show the vendor/product name of your codec
-chip. Then, see Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Modelstxt file,

the section of HD-audio driver. You can find a list of codecs
and `model` options belonging to each codec. For example, for Realtek
ALC262 codec chip, pass `model=ultra` for devices that are compatible
Thus, the first thing you can do for any brand-new, unsupported and
non-working HD-audio hardware is to check HD-audio codec and several

might suit with your device well.
Some codecs such as ALC880 have a special model option `model=test`.
