Hi again,
after I saw that I also have no sound in a fresh boot of some live CDs I sent 
this laptop to HP for a warranty repair, and they replaced the built-in 
speakers, so there probably was some hardware problem. Sorry...

Now maybe as a consequence of all my tries before I still have a problem:
Immediately after booting I have no sound from any application, neither from 
speaker nor from headphone.
All channels in alsamixer are unmuted and at max level.
alsa-info.sh yields:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a8efaf3ded0b5b2aed83cffc15ed1d03b2cafc76

If I do a 
sudo alsa force-reload
now, start alsamixer and unmute all channels and set all levels to max 
everything works as it should, and the result of alsa-info.sh now is:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=f85ade26726c10bf8469b9d948b18ccd9a35a357

The difference that may cause the problem is in section "HDA-Intel Codec 
information":
...
Node 0x03 [Audio Output] wcaps 0x441: Stereo
  Converter: stream=5, channel=0
...

After the force-reload the value after stream= changes to 0 (as in the
other three occurences).

The other remarkable difference is the line
HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: PCI INT A disabled
in the dmesg output the moment the force-reload is done (the other lines are 
the same in both configurations).

Nothing changes between both load processes. I set model=hp in both
cases. Trying probe_mask=1 didn't change anything.

Something else I noticed is that I have two different hda-intel modules, one 
from a backports package, the other from the generic kernel package:
$ find /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/ | grep hda-intel|xargs ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43192 2009-12-10 20:35 
/lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43792 2009-12-11 07:29 
/lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/updates/alsa/snd-hda-intel.ko
(Probably that's irrelevant, since I booted the 2.6.31-14-generic kernel, which 
is th last to have only one module, and nothing changed).

Sorry for the confusion with the defect hardware. Probably this is now a 
completely different problem, the headline doesn't fit any more.
Maybe someone can help me here (what option can I chang to manually set this 
stream= setting to 0?), so we can close the issue completely. If you want me to 
I'll open a new case.
