You should not need to reboot. After running depmod, you should be
able to run "modprobe -r snd-card-0" and then "modprobe snd-card-0"
to reload the module with the new options. I did a fair amount of
that when trying to find the model that worked right with my Toshiba.

Whether model=acer works for Yanus may be a bit hit and miss, but worth a try.

Hi Nigel & Mikkel,
Thanks for your great help. I will give it a try.
