As I noted above, I tried all of the possible options, and none of them
helped. The exact models I tried are (from
linux-source-2.6.20/sound/pci/hda/patch-realtek.c starting at line 132):

/* ALC883 models */
enum {
        ALC883_3ST_2ch_DIG,
        ALC883_3ST_6ch_DIG,
        ALC883_3ST_6ch,
        ALC883_6ST_DIG,
        ALC883_TARGA_DIG,
        ALC883_TARGA_2ch_DIG,
        ALC888_DEMO_BOARD,
        ALC883_ACER,
        ALC883_MEDION,
        ALC883_LAPTOP_EAPD,
        ALC883_AUTO,
        ALC883_MODEL_LAST,
};

... AND I tried the model=ref option, which is not in this list but is
elsewhere in the source, which can be found by (whitespace edited to
wrap better):

mbt@sage:/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20/sound/pci/hda$ grep ref *|grep \"
patch_sigmatel.c: { .modelname = "ref",
patch_sigmatel.c: { .modelname = "ref",
patch_sigmatel.c: { .modelname = "ref",
patch_sigmatel.c: { .modelname = "ref",
patch_sigmatel.c: { .modelname = "ref",
patch_sigmatel.c: "available, default to model=ref\n");
patch_sigmatel.c: "available, default to model=ref\n");
patch_sigmatel.c: "available, default to model=ref\n");
patch_sigmatel.c: "available, default to model=ref\n");
mbt@sage:/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20/sound/pci/hda$

I can't remember the place in the source that maps the constants defined
to the strings used for model=, but they are as you can probably see
above close enough to see what the strings are for the options.

  Thanks,
