No audio from headphone on Ubuntu on my Asus laptop

I have an Asus Notebook, A6Q00VM and it mounts this audio card:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)

I’m using Ubuntu on this notebook, normally I would go with Debian Testing but I want to keep in touch with this famous distro so I keep it in my old notebook, just in case I get nostalgic. However, the problem is that I don’t get any audio from my headphones. Solution is to add the following lines in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
options snd-hda-intel model=z71v position_fix=1
Don’t ask me what they mean. However reboot your system and you should be able to enjoy music without annoying your neighbors, or you may annoy them even more with your new speakers.

The funny thing is that I did the same thing with 7.10 (my first approach to linux!) to solve the same problem.

2011 for the Italian television

2011: On the second day of the new year on italian public television you can see:
Horoscopes, Fortune-tellers, Magicians and a subtle commercial of a creationist book for children.

1011: On the second day of the new year at the court of Hugh Capet of France you could have seen:
Horoscopes, Fortune-tellers, Magicians and a priest explaining the Genesis to the children.

Some things will never change.

Happy new year.
