What do you mean "breaking voice"?  Please be more specific.

Run alsa-info.sh with --no-upload option, and attach the generated
file.  This will contain the detailed hardware information.  The
script is found at
    http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh

Is this a regression from the older kernel?  If yes, please run
alsa-info on both working and non-working kernels and attach the both
outputs.
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git

Also, try the latest sound git tree whether the problem persists on
the latest version.

You can find some other information on
    ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/docs/HD-Audio.pdf
