Good to know.  "make modules" should be superfluous as usually "make" includes
it.  But modules_install might be needed explicitly.

In your test, you don't have to check the sound output.  I guess the likely
reason of the missing sound is the mixer setup.

The only point you need to check in this test is whether the codec is properly
detected and configured.  So, please check /proc/asound/cards and /dev/snd/*
whether PCM and control devices are created.  If yes, that's good.  No
functional test is needed and proceed.  If no, proceed as bad.
