Reporting that for Asus x55sv laptop the solution was to add the line options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo-101e to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base I spent hours trying to track down the relevant thread and then trying every option from ALSA-Configuration.txt file (linked above by someone). Thanks to everyone who posted their experiences!
