Try this:
Open file:
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Add this lines at the end
====== options snd-hda-intel model=targa-dig
options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1
Restart computer.
If this doesnt work erase options.conf and options in /etc/modprob.d/
