I think the poster is talking about snd_hda_intel, not snd_intel8x0, which is a different module. The version of snd_hda_intel in kernel doesn't work well, but fortunately it is being actively worked on by one of the alsa devs, so that version 1.0.14_rc1 of the alsa-driver package is much better than the kernel version.
