check your modprobe.conf, my thinkpad works perfect with intel hda sound
or post your lspci output
here is my /etc/modprobe.conf for sound
>> alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
>> options snd-card-0 index=0
>> options snd-hda-intel index=0
>> remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel
here is my lspci output

PS you do not need atrpms for this driver
