Comment 35 for bug 147087

Hi David,

To enable those options on a live CD boot one would need to remove the module and modprobe it with the required options. However, there will be other modules that have dependencies on snd-hda-intel so these need removing first before you can rmmod the snd-hda-intel kernel module.

I agree that finding a fix is not straight forward and finding the wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller for your particular sound devices is not necessarily the first place to look.
