Already tried that, doesn't make any difference.

Here is what I have on my T430

pcm0: <Realtek ALC269 (Analog 2.0+HP/2.0)> (play/rec)
pcm1: <Intel Panther Point (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm2: <Intel Panther Point (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm3: <Intel Panther Point (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm4: <USB audio> (play/rec) default

Please note that I have the following in the device hints in order not
to have a separate pcm1 for the internal microphone
(pcm1: <Realtek ALC269 (Internal Analog Mic)> (rec))

hint.hdaa.0.nid18.config="as=3 seq=0 device=mic"
hint.hdaa.0.nid24.config="as=3 seq=15 device=mic"

On my x220:

pcm0: <Conexant CX20590 (Analog 2.0+HP/2.0)> (play/rec) default
pcm1: <Intel Cougar Point (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm2: <Intel Cougar Point (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm3: <Intel Cougar Point (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
