Hi, My laptop is using the intel hda adaptor and I couldn't get the default version of alsa in Arch Linux to work.
So I got the Mercurial version which Joel mentioned and compiled it. http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Download#ALSA_HG_.28Mercurial.29_SCM_repositories http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-hda-intel it seemed to work with my skype etc. Hope it is of help.
