I've tried that. The problem still persists after a power cycle. I did 
find out a bit more. I was able to restore sound by booting with an 
ancient PCLinuxOS CD I had lying around, but not with a newer PCLinuxOS. 
I think there was some work done with snd_intel_hda power saving some 
time between those two versions. Something may be causing power saving to 
go rogue and ignore the parameters.
