linux sound error in CF-T8

It is common that linux(particularly debian) on panasonic toughbook series have sound problems; either no sound from the internal speaker, internal speaker stays on despite the headphone is plugged, no sound at all or any combination of them.

A simple solution is given in agentoss.wordpress.com. Just comment out everything in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. Then put this configuration there:
options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad
