alsa-info report for asus x71sl with asus-mode8 model

This laptop plays no sound from the speakers, while the headphones work.

As it has two headphones jacks, it seems that the closest model is asus-mode8 with which I get the two volume controls for them.

I join the alsa-info.sh report.

I tried to play with hda-analyser.py, with no luck.

Did you try to turn on GPIO pins?

Yes, and the owner just told me the builtin speakers were out of order for some time even with M$ Vista.

So sorry for the noise, the only point of this bug is now to automatically select masus-mode8 for this laptop, is it possible?

If asus-mode8 is really the right choice, it's easy.
But judging from the old quirk table entries, asus-mode3 was used for 1043:1963.  Could you confirm whether this works or not?

asus-mode3 works but it does not show the volume control for the second headphone jack. With asus-mode8, I have the two controls, but one of them is always muted and at 0% at boot...

OK, then I'm going to apply the patch to set mode8 for this machine.  The fix patch is below.
