 $  cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Codec: Realtek ALC269
Codec: Nvidia MCP79/7A HDMI

Which, I think, means that MCP79 only controls HDMI audio output. I was
looking at the wrong place all this time. This card is not shown when I run
lspci. Anyway, I quickly searched the web and found nothing relevant but
that:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-eeepc-devel/2010-February/003320.html.
However, this error doesn't exist in the current kernel.

I'll try the parameters for ALC269. There are a few in that link, including
two related to eeepc, and no parameters to MCP79.
