Sound on a 3rd generation MacBook 2

Thanks to the heros on the Mactel list I have sound again. If you use Linux on a MacBook of the third generation and your soundcard has been detected but just no sound will come out, putting the following in /etc/modprobe.conf (on Gentoo: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa and modules-update afterwards) should fix the problem. Please reboot or reload snd-hda-intel after changing the configuration. NOTE: it has been reported to work fine on MacBook Pro’s too.

options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=mbp3

   Warum will man ein MacBook mit Linux drauf? Wenn es nicht um eine parallele Installation zu Mac OS geht oder schlichtweg um das Design von Apple, so bekommt man doch genug tragbare PC-Hardware, die wesentlich günstiger ist als die von Apple.
   Was sind deine Beweggründe?

   They look good. And I try to ignore Mac OS.
