I am using the driver CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL OK, that one is the generic driver. You most probably need to also enable the specific codec driver for your chip (not all "Intel HD" chips are the same.) The way I figured out which one to enable was to boot Ubuntu from a CD and then examine the output of "lsmod". There I found which codec driver it uses. I then enabled that driver in my kernel.
