Yes ... i had some problems with my xe3 notebook (4.7-STABLE). Well, 
have you tried to unload and then load again the module? When i tried 
that (i had just install 4.7-RELEASE), it worked. Back then i thought 
that maestro module needs to be located before ntfs and other modules in 
memory, but right now it works fine at any place:

$ dmesg|grep Preloaded
Preloaded elf kernel "kernel" at 0xc033a000.
Preloaded elf module "ntfs.ko" at 0xc033a09c.
Preloaded elf module "snd_maestro3.ko" at 0xc033a138.
Preloaded elf module "snd_pcm.ko" at 0xc033a1dc.
Preloaded elf module "agp.ko" at 0xc033a27c.
$ dmesg|grep pcm
pcm0: <ESS Technology Allegro-1> port 0x2000-0x20ff irq 5 at device 3.0 
on pci2

In my kernel config file i haven't pcm or other sound-devices either.

I know that this is weird, but it worked ... weird for me that every 
time i boot, sound is enabled only at the right speaker. I have to 
manually set the pcm volume to any value (using the 'mixer pcm 75' 
command for example) in order to have stereo sound ... Any ideas?


hope this helps, if you want any additional info, let me know.
