Description:
Adding "options snd-hda-intel model=ref" to /etc/modprobe.conf does not make any difference when snd-hda-intel module is loaded. Also tried all of the possible values for the "model" option (6stack, 3stack, full, etc.) without any effect. According to many users of other Linux distributions (e.g. Ubuntu and Fedora), this change in /etc/modprobe.conf is supposed to make some additional volume controls to be shown in alsamixer (LFE, for instance) but in ArchLinux, it does not.

This is supposed to let me control the subwoofer volume on a Dell XPS M1710 but it is impossible to get that LFE control (or any other than the common ones) to be shown.

Steps to reproduce:
Add the line "options snd-hda-intel model=ref" to /etc/modprobe.conf". Note that no additional volume controls are shown after rebooting.
