What release of Debian are you running on your amd64 machine? wheezy? jessie? I am not using the same sound chip that you are, but I am using the same driver: snd_hda_intel. The wheezy kernel's drivers were not new enough to recognize my sound chip, and I couldn't get sound to work on my machine under wheezy either. But I found a work-around for the problem. Create (as root) a file under /etc/modprobe.d. The file name can be anything you like, but it must have an extension of ".conf". I called mine /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf In this file, add the following line: options snd_hda_intel model=auto Save the file and exit the editor. Now shutdown and reboot. This worked for me. I don't know if it will work for you or not. Since then, I've upgraded my system to jessie, and the newer kernels on up-to-date jessie systems have an snd_hda_intel driver that is new enough to recognize my hardware. I no longer need to use the above option. But it was necessary to use the above option when I was running wheezy. Let me know if this works for you. -- .''`.
