The recent version of BIOS auto-parser works often better than the
model quirks.  For openSUSE, the alsa-driver-kmp is available for
the updates to the latest alsa-driver snapshot.
See the Wiki page for details:
        http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Alsa-update

After installing alsa-driver-kmp, remove model option, and reload
the driver (or reboot).  Check the mixer status again, then retest.
If the problem still persists, give alsa-info.sh output.  (Put me to
Cc.)

The latest alsa-driver-kmp might still have a bug at volume
initialization I fixed today.  I can check it when alsa-info output is
available.  In anyways, you can try alsa-driver-kmp later again in
such a case, too.

At best, take alsa-info.sh output during the mic is working and during
the mic doesn't work.  In that way, we can compare the difference more
directly.


thanks,

Takashi
