I have solved my problems with Grub installation on an external USB
disk and now I want to solve the non audio-problem with my new laptop
(Acer Aspire 5720)
The sound-card-config tool says that it is identified as snd-hda-intel.
>From lspci I get:

I tried many different options in modprobe.con
#remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
#remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ;
}; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel
remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ;
}; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel
install snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-hda-intel &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
#remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ;
}; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel
#options snd-intel8x0 index=0
alias eth1 tg3
#options snd-hda-intel index=0
# ------------------------------
options snd cards_limit=8
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel model=acer
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=acer
alias snd-card-7 snd-usb-audio
options snd-usb-audio index=7
Kernel is 2.6.22.7-85.fc7
I installed various updated alsa packeges (1.0.15-rc2) from development
I still have no sound
Any help???
***********************
I had the same problem with an Intel ICH9 chipset. I found a Ubuntu page
which basically recommended downloading and installing the latest ALSA
package set (driver, libs and utils) from source. I did that, followed
the steps on the instruction page for the particular chipset (through
the chip matrix pages), and sound commenced working. I'm not at that
box, and I cannot remember what changes it made to modprobe.conf but it
ended up a lot shorter than what you have listed above. It may have made
changes to udev as well.
